Actor Suriya impresses television audience with the very first episode of Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi.


Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, SRK and Salman Khan have all hosted shows of their own, but down south, Suriya is the first actor to take up hosting.

Apparently, before accepting the KBC Tamil version offer, Suriya had met Amitabh on the sets of KBC and spent a whole day watching him host the show. He had interacted with Big B about the show and it was Amitabh who'd inspired him to do the show in Tamil.

Amitabh had insisted that he take up the KBC Tamil version as he felt that it was an excellent medium to connect directly with the audience. In fact, there was a cute message from Big B to Suriya telling him to rock on the show.

Sriram from Vijay TV says, "Suriya is a perfectionist. He wanted to know all about the show and watch the shooting before he committed to it. We spent a day on the sets of KBC in Mumbai as a learning session. It was good to watch Suriya spending time on the sets amidst his busy film shootings."
