Suriya anna : Jo, this is for you

The crème de la crème of tinsel town was present at the 56th Idea Filmfare Awards 2008 — South. With top celebrities for company, the audience was in for a night of scintillating dance numbers and awards galore, and of course, star-gazing! Vaaranam Aayiram (VA) and Subramanipuram — two films that shook the Kollywood BO last year — were aptly awarded on stage. While Subramanipuram won the Best Film and its director Sasikumar awarded the Best Director’s Award, Suriya-starrer Vaaranam Aayiram almost swept the music category.
Receiving the Best Actor Award, Suriya said, “This is as much Gautham’s award as it is mine. It was no ordinary task — to play two different roles — and VA was not an ordinary film at all. Doing the film and receiving this award is a very special feeling.” A couple of minutes later, even as the crowd cheered, the actor raised his Black Lady and said, “Jo, this is for you,” to which the Mozhi actress gave an I’m-soproud-of-you smile.
He went on to add, “I see this award as a blessing from Kamal sir. I’m a big fan of his and I’m sure he’s watching my progress. I did two characters in VA, which in itself was a big task. Just imagine a man playing 10 characters in a single film! Only Kamal sir can do that.”
