‘Seen his pain’: Radikaa Sarathkumar reveals Suriya overcame deep mental battles

Veteran actress Radikaa Sarathkumar has shared that Suriya faced profound mental and personal challenges in recent years. As Suriya's mother in the film and someone who has known him for years, Radikaa is among the few who understand the depth of his struggles. She expressed her pride in seeing him overcome those battles, noting that most people remain unaware of the difficulties he has faced.

Radikaa emphasized Suriya's private nature, stating that he rarely discusses his feelings and opens up only to a select few. She described him as someone who would only speak openly with a limited circle of trusted individuals, like herself. Radikaa often provided guidance to Suriya, encouraging him to approach challenges differently.

During the Vishwanath and Sons success meet, Radikaa praised Suriya's performance in the film, describing it as extraordinary. She highlighted a specific scene where Mamitha Baiju reveals Suriya's upcoming abroad trip, noting its emotional impact. With her extensive experience in the industry, spanning five decades and over 280 films, Radikaa compared Suriya to other leading men she has worked with, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Sivaji Ganesan.

She remarked that while most of these actors would have ego issues, Suriya's straightforward approach set him apart, making his performance in Vishwanath and Sons particularly commendable.
