Surya's Super Answer to the Burning Question

In press meets for star heroes, unexpected questions can often arise. If celebrities react emotionally, it might lead to social media trolling. However, Suriya recently demonstrated that handling such situations with maturity can defuse tension. At a press meet in Bengaluru for the promotion of 'Kanguva', a journalist posed a serious question regarding Suriya’s earlier decision to postpone the film’s release from October 10 to avoid clashing with 'Rajinikanth's Vettayan'. The reporter pointed out that Sandalwood star Shivraj Kumar’s 'Bhairathirangal', releasing on November 14, hadn’t been considered.

The journalist further argued that Shivanna's film would likely secure the same number of screens in Karnataka as 'Kanguva' would in Tamil Nadu. Suriya attentively listened and responded coolly, stating that distribution and exhibition are separate realms that have nothing to do with acting. He expressed his willingness to lend his voice to such matters if given the opportunity but also indicated his readiness to support his dear friend Shivanna. Surya’s calm yet assertive handling of the question left an impression.

This situation isn’t isolated. In another instance, when 'Allu Arjun' arrived late to the 'Pushpa 1 The Rule' event, a Kannada media representative protested excessively. Bunny offered explanations and apologized. Recently, the performance of Telugu and Tamil films has drawn scrutiny, especially after the pan-India successes of 'KGF' and 'Kantara'. Other films like 'Paipechu', 'Kabza', and 'Martin' faced trolling, while 'Bagheera' was labeled a disaster. Netizens have commented on this as intolerance, questioning why the language should matter if the content is strong.
