Filmmaker Venkat Prabhu says it’s challenging to work with a star like Suriya because he doesn’t settle for anything mediocre and likes to push everybody around him towards excellence. Venkat and Suriya have teamed for the first time in Tamil actioner Rakshasudu (Masss in Tami), which releases in cinemas on Friday.

“We included a shot of Suriya as a vampire in the film’s teaser to create some curiosity because now people have started to wonder what genre the film really belongs to.”
