At the event, Radhika, who plays Suriya’s mother in the film, thanked director Venky Atluri and the cast for their support. She then spoke in detail about Suriya, who was absent from the ceremony, and said she felt deeply connected to him because she had closely witnessed his struggles and recovery.
Speaking at the success meet, Radhika said, “I feel way more connected to him as a family member because I’ve seen his struggles, seen the pain he’s been through. A lot of people have faced challenges in movies, but the real mental battles, that’s another level. Suriya overcame those struggles, and watching him closely, I genuinely feel proud when I see him.”
She also described Suriya as a private person who does not easily speak about his feelings. “Suriya isn’t someone who talks a lot. He rarely opens up. He only really talks well with a select few people. I was one of the few close ones who talked to him a lot. I would tell him, ‘Don’t do it like this, do it like that’,” she added.
