I have stopped moving with my friends says Surya

Surya has mentioned that he has stopped seeing his friends in order to spend his time with his wife and children. Surya while speaking to the media said, "I am donning the role of conjoined twins in the film Maatran.

Since I am continuously shooting I have no time to spend with my family. I have to spend my whole time with my work. At the same time I want to be a responsible father. Whenever I get a break, I rush to spend my time with Jo, Diya and Dev.

I don’t go out with my friends these days. To tell the truth, I don’t even speak with them in the phones also. Even if I want to exercise, I will do it before my kids wake up. I will be with them once they get up from their bed. I will do everything for them. I will help Jyothika by dressing the kids for school, feed them and take them to school"

Suriya’s Maatraan inspired by Hollywood’s Stuck on You?

Whenever the scripts of Tamil films resemble some Hollywood movies to those who regularly watch English movies, it is said that these Tamil films are ‘inspired’ by those English flicks. The word ‘plagiarism’ is a taboo as far as Kollywood’s film-makers are concerned and they’d simply admit that their film was ‘merely inspired’ by a Hollywood film.

Suriya’s upcoming film Maatraan opposite sizzling Kajal Aggarwal and directed by K.V. Anand is said to be ‘loosely’ based on the 2003 Hollywood flick Stuck On You whose script was also about conjoined twins directed by Farrelly brothers. Anand, however insists that the script was borne out of a book he had come across some time back during a journey.

Anand had also vehemently denied that the film’s script was in any way similar to the Tamil-Kannada bilingual Charulata which stars Priyamani in the lead. It now turns out that Maatraan is ‘heavily inspired’ by the Hollywood flick Stuck On You which was about conjoined twins who had similar thoughts, ideas, acts and tastes.

Anand’s earlier successful flicks such as Ayan and Ko were also said to be ‘loosely’ based on some English films. With Maatraan, Anand might even end up scoring a hat-trick of hits but the ‘inspiration’ tag might not desert him for now!
