Before Suriya began his career in the film industry, he used to work in a garment export factory for about Six months without revealing to anyone about his family background. While he was working at the factory, he was offered to play the lead role by Vasant in his film Aasai but he rejected the offer citing the reason that he is not interested in acting.  When he eventually agreed to make his debut in the 1997 film Nerrukku Ner produced by Mani Ratnam, he took his stage name, Suriya, which was given to him by the producer.  During his initial days, the actor himself confessed that he struggled with acting due to his low confidence and lack of dancing skills.
