Suriya began his illustrious career when he replaced Ajith Kumar in Vasanth’s directorial debut, 'Nerukku Ner'. The son of veteran actor Sivakumar, Suriya initially took on smaller roles to establish his presence in the industry. As his career progressed, he gained popularity and financial success, which allowed him to expand his assets, including custom homes and luxurious cars.
Recent reports suggest that Suriya acquired a luxury apartment in Mumbai worth Rs 70 crore and relocated there with his wife, Jyothika, and their children.
His wife, actress Jyothika, has been a strong pillar of support throughout his journey. According to News18, Suriya’s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 350 crore, encompassing his residences in Chennai and Mumbai, as well as his collection of luxury vehicles. His ventures into film production under his own banner are expected to further increase his net worth in the coming years.
For his next project, 'Kanguva', Suriya has reportedly charged a fee of Rs 30 crore, a figure anticipated to rise post-release regardless of the film's box office performance. Despite his taste for luxury, Suriya is known for his understated demeanor. His collection includes a BMW 7 Series worth Rs 1.38 crore, an Audi Q7 costing over Rs 80 lakh, a Mercedes Benz valued at Rs 61 lakh, and a Jaguar worth Rs 1.10 crore, among other vehicles.
Jyotika and Suriya hit the gym hard together
Suriya's breakthrough came with Gautham Menon’s directorial 'Kaakha Kaakha', which marked his first significant box office success. This encouraged him to hone his craft and choose his projects more judiciously. By embracing a variety of roles and genres, Suriya rose to prominence, becoming one of the leading actors of his generation.
