The always-crowded Ranganathan Street at T Nagar became more crowded recently, when Suriya and director A R Murugadoss were there to shoot a song for their forthcoming venture ‘7am Arivu’. “Since filming a song on Ranganathan Street is no easy task, we rehearshed the sequence many a time at AVM Studios for three days. Thanks to all, we managed to achieve what we conceived, on the busy street,” says Murugadoss. It is said that the entire shot was completed in just 10 minutes and the unit immediately left the spot, as crowd started to swell to have a glimpse of Suriya. “Special permission was obtained earlier,” sources say. Produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin on Red Giant Movies banner, ‘7am Arivu’, being made on a high budget, has Shruthi Haasan opposite Suriya. Music is by Harris Jayaraj. “All is well so far. The shoot is expected to get over soon,” add sources.

"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.
