Suriya achieved stardom with his Ghajini not only in his home state Tamil Nadu but also in AP/TS. He further increased his stardom with Singam & Singam 2 released as Yamudu & Yamudu 2 in Telugu. Both became huge hits in both languages. This made him one of the biggest stars in South India once. Surprisingly since then Suriya is struggling to score a big hit. He did many films after the Singam series which brought him success no where near to them. He hoped lots of hopes on the third film of Singam series S3. This too became failure at box-office. Continuous flops and disasters have made him lose the entire market and he hit a downfall in the stardom.
His recent two films Soorari Pottru released as Akasam Nee Hadduraa in Telugu and Jai Bhim released directly on OTT. However this shocked everyone. A star like Suriya opting for an OTT release shocked all. These two films received critical acclaim. But hit status of these films cannot be judged based on their release on OTT. He did Etharkkum Thunindhavan, stylized as ET in all lanuages, under the direction of Pandiraj. He had high hopes on this film. But the advance bookings of ET are proving to be disastrous and it indicates that he is not a star hero once he was anymore.
The emergence of Young Heroes, Siva Karthikeyan and Vijay Sethupathi as leading stars in Tamil proved a big blow to Suriya who seemed to be in the third position after Vijay and Ajith in Tamil. Siva Karthikeyan and Vijay Sethupathi, once used to be small actors grew big with each and every film and achieved huge stardom impressing all sections of audiences with their films. These both highly attracted Youth and family audiences completely cementing their positions as leading stars. More so that Siva Karthikeyan scoring a sole 100 crore film with his recent outing Doctor.
Already established hero Dhanush has grown even more big with his unique films attracting all audiences. Suriya even his lost his market once he had in Andhra with these continuous flops. All these struck Suriya. It’s high time that Suriya thinks about his choosing of films and concentrate on doing films that attracts all sections of audiences. His ET is gearing up for release on March 10th. The box-office performance of this film is very crucial for Suriya.
