SJ Surya: From Villain to Lucky Hand

The reason why fans can't forget Mahesh Babu's *Spider* so easily is because of Murugadoss's direction, which defied their expectations. But no matter how big a disaster it was, SJ Surya, who played the villain, benefited tremendously from that movie. His performance as a psycho killer brought him a lot of fame. Later he became very busy as an actor. Chennai talk has it that he started with lakhs of remuneration and now he is talking up to ten crores. A variety sentiment is making these star heroes feel like lucky hands.

Every star hero who teamed up with SJ Surya for the first time got the highest grossers in their career. Vijay Adirindi broke old records while the success of Sivakarthikeyan's *Don* took the market somewhere. That is not all the name that Simbu *Maanaadu* has brought. SJ Surya played a key role behind *Mark Antony’s* Tamil blockbuster success. Vishal Ney dominated. We can't forget Jigar Tanda's character in *Double X*, who resurrected Lawrence. Recently, he appeared as the antagonist of Dhanush in *Raayan* and added another hundred crores to his grosser account.

Now SJ Surya is a part of two important Telugu pan India movies. The first one is Nani’s *Saripodhaa Sanivaaram*, which is slated to release on August 29. It is already clear that the clash between these two is going to be in a range. The latter is a Ram Charan Game Changer. Leaks are coming in the manner that SK Surya has got a lot of priority in this political thriller coming in December. Isn't this a positive sentiment?

That's not to say he doesn't have flops. Recently *Bharatiyeedu 2* gave a shock. Otherwise the demand for SJ Surya is not normal as there is a high percentage of hits. It seems like the actor has found a magical formula to turn box office gold, and every star hero is eager to get a piece of that magic.
