These films made him a serious actor and directors started to bank on him. In 2004, he won his first best actor FilmFare Award South for his dual roles in Perazahagan and playing a hunchback character.

In 2005, Suriya's other avatar was revealed through Ghajini which also prompted Bollywood to turn its heads. Suriya's bare chiseled chest made Aamir Khan play the same character for Hindi with similar dedication and both versions registered a big hit.

Then came his Singham which is the biggest commercial success in Suriya's career till date. The 2010's release also has sequels in Tamil and the concept was also borrowed in other languages too.

These six films Nanda, Pithamagan, Perazhagan, Kakka Kakka, Ghajini and Singham made him Mr Perfectionist like Aamir Khan who carefully examines the script before giving a go-ahead.

Some of his other hit films are Vaaranam Aariyam, Ayan, Aadhavan, 7aum Arivu and Suriya has given his best as an actor to deserve a top spot as one of the South's most preferred lead actor.
