S.J. Suryah, who has been sidelined for quite sometime following some disastrous movies, is determined to make a strong comeback with his Telugu movie 'Puli', starring Pawan Kalyan.
He made a dream start with films like 'Vaali' and 'Kushi'. He established himself as a smart and innovative storyteller, who can handle big stars with ease. But he changed track when he started acting. Though his maiden venture as hero 'New' was a hit, it received lot of criticism for its 'vulgar and smutty portrayals and dialogues'.
The director cum hero received flakes for continuing making film on the same lines. The failure of these films has forced him to take a break and introspect.
The break seems to have helped the young and innovative director. Now he seems to be a changed person. 'I made mistakes. Now I am a changed person. You will see a new Suryah. Someone who is responsible towards society', says the director.
'Puli' is said to be a different kind of cop story with the music of A.R. Rahman. Suryah believes that this film would change his image. He is confident that the film would be his second beginning.
