"I loved learning circus tricks" - Surya

Suriya is truly excited about his upcoming film 7Aum Arivu in which he plays the role of a trapeze artiste cum animal trainer. The unit is currently shooting at Great Bombay Circus in Coimbatore. Suriya will be performing all the circus acts himself without using a double in any of the sequences. The actor is practising hard to get his body language right. He can now walk the trapeze, blow fire out of his mouth and juggle with six balls.

“I stayed with a circus. Do you know there are only about seven or eight companies remaining in the country? It’s frightening how popular entertainment like television has ousted its traditional counterparts. I loved learning circus tricks, specially jugglery. I don’t want people to think it is special effects,” Suriya said.
