As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but admire Suriya’s humility and wisdom that shines through his words. His revelation about Jyotika earning three times more than him for Kaakha Kaakha is not just a testament to her talent, but also a reflection of his character. It speaks volumes about the man he was then, and the man he has become today.


Prior to the launch of Suriya’s highly anticipated film Kanguva on November 14, 2024, he sat down for an intriguing chat with Mashable India. During this conversation, he revealed a fascinating tidbit about his hit movie Kaakha Kaakha.

In an interview, Suriya shared that during their early days, Jyotika was earning three times more than what he was getting paid. He expressed, “In the movie Kaakha Kaakha, her salary tripled. I felt joyful for her and recognized where my life stood.

As soon as a person like her embarked on their life’s voyage, they became an integral part of mine,” said the actor, implying that both she and her parents were prepared for this connection. He further reflected on the value of what he had and what she had, and contemplated when it was time for him to step forward.

For those not familiar, Kaakha Kaakha is a 2003 Tamil-language action thriller film featuring Suriya and Jyotika as the main characters. This movie, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, follows the story of Anbuselvan, a stern IPS officer who serves as the ACP in Chennai.

In his noble endeavors to defend and uphold justice, he tackles the challenge of dismantling criminal organizations, resulting in a formidable enemy confronting him. Meanwhile, he develops feelings for a resolute school teacher, shaping much of the ensuing narrative. The film also features performances by Jeevan, Daniel Balaji, Devadarshini, Yog Japee, and several other notable actors in crucial roles.

Additionally, the movie was re-created in various languages as well. This includes the Telugu adaptation of “Gharshana,” featuring Venkatesh Daggubati, and the Hindi version titled “Force” starring John Abraham.

In the future, actor Suriya will appear in an upcoming fantasy-action film titled “Kanguva,” which is set to be released under the direction of Siva. Notably, this movie serves as the Tamil cinema debut for actors Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, who are both taking on significant roles in the production.
