Suriya turns Prince with 7am Arivu :Cinejwala:

Ever since the First Look pictures, trailer and the audio of Suriya’s 7am Arivu were unveiled, the expectations on the film reached sky-high. Now, here is another interesting update of the film.

Apart from the Buddhist monk and circus artiste roles in the film, Suriya is essaying the role of a prince. Suriya’s Bodhidharma character is said to be originally a prince role who was third son to the Pallava King in the dynasty. Pallavas ruled India in the sixth century. This Prince character will later be transformed as Buddhist monk, who leaves to china.

“Though Bodhidharma is a real life character, director Murugadoss added fiction to the role and shot the film. Being born as Tamilian, he is worshipped in major parts of China also having his statue in the Shaolin temple,” informs sources.

7am Arivu switches between ancient and modern era as the story progresses. Suriya’s ladylove in the movie Shruti Haasan is essaying a scientist role. Abhinaya of 'Nadodigal' fame has also paired alongside Suriya for another avatar.

7am Arivu is gearing up for its release worldwide on 26th October on the eve of Diwali.
