Suriya might be the only South Indian star left who can make a family film and mean it

In the world of South Indian cinema, few stars remain capable of delivering family films that resonate emotionally with audiences. Suriya, a prominent actor, recently showcased his ability in the film Vishwanath and Sons, where he portrayed a 40-year-old single father holding his infant son's hand, contemplating the possibility of falling in love with someone 20 years younger.

This performance stands out as particularly brave, as it required Suriya to engage in a conversation with a female co-star without the crutch of background music guiding the audience's emotional response. The fact that Suriya has managed to transition between mass entertainers and family-oriented films for two decades, showcasing his versatility, makes him one of the rarest talents in the industry.
