Tamil star Suriya has put an end to speculation about his political entry, making it clear that he has no plans to join politics.

Speaking at the success meet of his latest film Scene in Chennai on November 8, Suriya said he was closely following political developments but had no intention of entering the field.

“I am not going to enter politics. That does not mean I hate politics. I am quietly and closely watching politics,” he said.

The actor also stressed that he would not enter politics without properly understanding its responsibilities and challenges.

Suriya has often been linked to a possible political debut because of his popularity and the social activities carried out through his Agaram Foundation, which supports students pursuing higher education.

However, he clarified that his educational initiatives were not driven by political ambitions.

His comments come at a time when Tamil Nadu politics has attracted considerable attention following actor Vijay’s entry into politics.

Vijay launched Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in 2024 and went on to become Tamil Nadu Chief Minister after the 2026 Assembly elections.

Meanwhile, Suriya is enjoying the box office success of Scene, directed by Aavesham fame Jithu Madhavan.

The action-comedy, also starring Nazriya Nazim and Naslen, was released on November 6.

The film collected Rs 62.75 crore net in India and Rs 116.65 crore gross worldwide in its first three days.

Produced by Suriya, Jyothika and Jaishree Damodaran under the banners of 2D Entertainment and Zhagaram Studios, Scene has emerged as a strong performer during the Diwali season.

While Vijay has successfully moved from cinema to politics, Suriya has made it clear that he prefers to concentrate on films and his educational initiatives.
