Suriya rules out political entry, says, 'I am quietly watching politics' at 'Scene' success meet

Actor Suriya has cleared the air about his political entry, saying he has no plans to join politics. His remarks come at a time when several actors are being linked to political ambitions in Tamil Nadu following Chief Minister Vijay's entry into politics. Suriya, who has been actively involved in educational initiatives through his Agaram Foundation, has often been discussed as a potential political face because of his social work and fan following.

Suriya's political entry clarification

Speaking at an event related to his Diwali release 'Scene' in Chennai on November 8, Suriya directly addressed questions about his political future. “I am not going to enter politics. That does not mean I hate politics. I am quietly and closely watching politics,” he said, as reported by Cinema Vikatan. The actor also stressed that he would never enter politics without understanding the field properly. “I will not enter politics even without knowing the way,” Suriya added, putting an end to speculation about an immediate political move.

He further explained that anyone who genuinely wishes to serve people can enter politics, provided they understand its challenges and responsibilities.

Suriya says real change begins with knowledge

During the interaction, Suriya also shared his thoughts on education, corruption and social change. He said education was the key to addressing several problems faced by society and stressed that political leaders should give it greater importance. “Corruption cannot be eliminated by a third person.

Every individual must fight that battle within themselves,” he said. The actor also explained that the work carried out through Agaram Foundation was not intended to serve any political purpose.

“I will not call the work we do a service. It is our responsibility,” he stated, highlighting his commitment to helping students access education.

Suriya's 'Scene' Diwali release and success

On the other hand, his latest movie titled 'Scene', released during Diwali, has become a very big topic of discussion. The movie is directed by Jithu Madhavan and stars Suriya as the lead actor along with Nazriya Nazim and
