Retro actor Suriya reveals people calls him an "overacting actor" says, "I can’t be Karthi, I can’t be Meiyazhagan"

Suriya is enjoying a decent run at the box office of his recently released film Retro. The actor is widely promoting his latest film, which is facing strong competition from Nani's starrer HIT: The Third Case.

However, Suriya recently filmed a ‘rectangle table discussion’ with filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj and music composer Santosh Narayanan. During the session, Suriya talked about his film journey and revealed that he doesn’t think of himself as a great actor. He also compared his talent with his brother Karthi and noted that he can’t deliver performances like his.

The actor shared, “I am not a great actor, Karthik. Some people will call me an overacting actor…so many people will have that opinion. But, I stick to what I learnt from Bala sir.”

Suriya further insisted that he tries to give his ‘genuine best’ even though he’s not a ‘great actor.’ He added, “I’m trying my best, not every time it happens. I try my genuine best. Now, take a film like Meiyazhagan. I can’t be Karthi, I can’t be Meiyazhagan.”
