More about Suresh Gopi

Suresh Gopi’s name in Malayalam cinema is second only to that of superstars Mohanlal and Mammootty. Nonetheless, it’s a spot secured by Gopi after much struggle. Even though his first appearance on silver screen was as a child artiste in Odayil Ninnu (1965), as an adult he had to struggle for long doing bit roles like the villain’s stooge before graduating into a villain. But soon he started getting lead roles and hit big time with Commissioner in which he played an upright cop. The action scenes and punchy dialogues in that film slotted him as an action hero and almost all his subsequent films featuring him as a cop were hits. They even had a good run when dubbed into Tamil and Telugu. Ensconced safely in the superstar bracket, Suresh has now signed a film with Vijaykanth and another film with Ajith in Tamil. His recent hits have been Satyameva Jayate and Patram. He also won the best actor award at the state and national level for his role in Kaliyattom.

Personal Quotes

"Films were a passion for me after I entered college -- to be precise, after I watched a lot of Kamal Hasan movies."
"I want to prove that I am a better actor and the best in my profession. I don't want to be compared with any other top performers. I want to be the best in my line."

TRIVIA

His first appearance on the silver screen was as a child artist in Odeyil Ninnu (1965).
Won the State and National Award for Best Actor in 1997 for Kaliyattam (1997), and the State Award for Producer in 1999.
Famous for starring in many action films playing the "angry cop" role, but recently announced that he would no longer star in action movies due to the bad influence he was having on youth.
