Well, our surmise that Suriya will play a superhero in a film under Mysskin's direction is 100% correct. It became quite obvious after UTV signed Suriya for Mugamoodi to be made under Mysskin's supervision.
Now, the news about Suriya's new avatar has started to spread. In a year to two, we will see Suriya as the "caped crusader" saving people's lives and fighting crime and injustice. It is also said that the film will be Kollywood's version of comic book hero Superman's story. But speculation is rife that the story might be slightly altered to herald the arrival of a new Kollywood superhero.
Well, a new genre has begun in Kollywood: our own superhero films! This is just the beginning and there is more in the offing with director Venkat Prabhu's attraction for Batman and penchant for being different! It might not be a surprise when he decides to do a Kollywood film on Batman or a superhero character inspired by Batman. With the abundant talent available in Kollywood (our heroes are in no way second to their Hollywood counterparts) and new technology, it definitely possible to make good-quality superhero films in India. One good example is Bollywood film Krissh made on Hrithik Roshan. With method actors like Suriya and scriptwriters that we have today, this type of films will be given a new dimension and maybe one day Hollywood will look at us for inspiration. Quite possible! Thoughts are growing richer in Kollywood these days. And please do not be surprised or alarmed when you see a caped man flying in the skies. It could be our method actor Suriya rehearsing for his role! Kollywood is changing
