Director Hari speaks out!

After Sevval, director Hari is back with Singam starring Suriya and Anushka in lead roles. Suriya's success spree is likely to continue with Hari-directed Singam. The duo is hoping for a hat trick after Aaru and Vel. Suriya dons the role of a police officer after Kaakha Kaakha and Hari directs this police story after Saamy. So will Singam live up to public expectations? "Yes, it will be an adorable cop film. But Suriya's role in this film will not be like cop roles in his other films. In fact, my biggest challenge was to ensure that his role does not remind one of his earlier cop characters," Hari said to a leading English daily. "Suriya's performance is the highlight of this film. He performed all the stunts and did not opt for body doubles. Anushka plays a modern college girl who has traditional beliefs. Prakashraj plays the villain; I firmly believed that no one else could do this character as well as he could," he revealed. "We shot at several places including Tuticorin and it being a small town, people would gather the minute they knew Suriya was shooting.
