Editor Suresh Urs dons a new avatar in Mahaan Kanakku

Suresh Urs  is a leading and experienced editor and has worked in more than 500 hit films including Mani Ratnam’s Roja, Thalapathi, Bombay, Iruvar,  Rajeev Menon’s Kandu Kondein Kandu Kondein and Minsara Kanavu, Charan’s Kadhal Mannan, Amarkalam and Vasoolraja MBBS and  P.Vasu’s Chandramukhi to name a few. In fact, he is the most preferred editor in the industry and this is supported by the fact that he had been the editor for all movies of Director Bala. He has won two national awards and many State awards. Now he is adding yet another feather to his cap as an actor and the credit goes to new director Sampath Arumugam who introduced him in his movie “Mahaan Kanaku”.

He plays an important role as the CEO of a SAP computer training institute. He had turned down offers to act from leading directors earlier but had taken up this role with complete enthusiasm. When we checked with Director Sampath Arumugam on how he had made this possible, he replied thus “I saw him editing for my film and thought that he will fit into the character that I had in my mind. When I asked him whether he would be interested in acting, he replied in the negative by stating that he only knew how to cut and not how to act. This statement increased my resolve to have him and him only for this role. I convinced him that he would be the best option for this role. My continuous persuasion worked wonders and I am really glad and privileged to have introduced him as an actor in my first film. He liked the experience and has agreed to act in another Malayalam movie as well”
