An experience to cherish!

             Suriya is fascinated by Ram Gopal Varma's style of working. The actor is currently in Mumbai, shooting for the ace director's Raktha Charitra that'll release in two parts. "It's interesting to see how the character -- which we had in mind for almost five years now -- actually looks on screen, " reveals the actor, talking to CT from Mumbai.

              The film's subject, which revolves around the life of Paritala ravi (a prime suspect many murder cases), seems to have caught the fancy of both the director and the actor.While shooting the scenes, it's almost as if we're experiencing what the characters in the subject are going through, " states the Ayan star.

           Another unique distinction is that the film is being shot simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. "We're shooting every scene in all the three languages....so, it's quite an experience, "Smiles Suriya.

          The actor has become a big fan of RGV's casting sense. "One of my coartistes in the flick is an event manager, " he says, "RGV seems to know exactly where talent lies. He doesn't believe in big names; it's just the talent that counts. for instance, I loved his choice of villain in Sarkar; I later learnt that he was a fitness trainer !"Though RGV has made several films of note, this flick will set a new high for him. "According to him, Raktha Charitra will be the best film in his career, " says the actor.

           So, what's it like working in Bollywood? "Its a new ambience for me on the sets, " he says, "and, I'm sure that it'll be a great platform for my career. "
