Surya too is a philanthropist like his father Sivakumar. If his father has set up a trust to help the poor in their education, he too set up a voluntary organization. A percentage of his earnings goes to this. However, both father and son shy away from any publicity when it comes to doing charity.

 

This is so unlike most of the cinema guys who call the media before they embark on helping people. Keep it up Surya. This is for your info: to help the victims of recent flood, he met the Chief Minister privately and donated Rs.5 lakhs voluntarily. “He is definitely one of the nice guys in the cine circuit”, says actress Asin. Sivakumar was also considered one of the gentleman actors of his time. Like father, like son!!
