Suriya Father Sivakumar Claim Sparks Debate Over Six-Pack Trend in Tamil Cinema

Tamil star Suriya's latest film Retro has been making headlines not just for its content but also due to a statement made by his father, veteran actor Sivakumar, during a recent promotional event. Sivakumar proudly claimed that his son Suriya was the first to introduce the six-pack trend in the Tamil film industry. He even posed a rhetorical question to the audience, asking, “Have you seen anyone with a six-pack before Suriya?” This remark sparked a flurry of discussions among cinema enthusiasts and fans across Kollywood.

Many were quick to recall that actor Vishal had showcased a six-pack physique even before Suriya did. Responding to the ongoing debate, Vishal recently addressed the matter, stating, “It was actually Dhanush who first appeared with a six-pack in Polladhavan. Later, I displayed my six-pack in Satyam and Madha Gaja Raja. I think people have forgotten about that.” Vishal's statement highlights the timeline of the six-pack trend in Tamil cinema, with Dhanush's Polladhavan (2007) and Vishal's Satyam (2008) predating Suriya's Vaaranam Aayiram (2008).

The timeline of the six-pack trend in Tamil cinema is clear, with Dhanush and Vishal preceding Suriya. Despite the debate, Suriya's upcoming film Retro is generating buzz, featuring Pooja Hegde as the female lead and directed by Karthik Subbaraj. The film is set for release on May 1, and fans are eagerly waiting to see Suriya's performance.

Retro's release is highly anticipated, and the debate over the six-pack trend has only added to the film's publicity. With Karthik Subbaraj at the helm and Suriya starring in the film, Retro is expected to be a major hit in Tamil cinema. The film's success will likely depend on its content and the chemistry between Suriya and Pooja Hegde.
