Suriya's comments come amid renewed attention to his political aspirations following the trailer of ‘Scene’, which featured a dialogue about leaving a job to enter politics. The line had prompted discussions about whether the actor was hinting at a possible political move.

Responding to the speculation, Suriya said he had no intention of entering politics, even if he did not know which direction his journey would take. He added that he preferred to pursue things he enjoyed and believed in, while continuing to observe the political landscape closely.

"Even if I don't know the way, I will certainly not enter politics," the actor said, clarifying that he did not hate politics and was silently following developments in the field.

Suriya on Agaram Foundation and social responsibility

The actor also spoke about his work through the Agaram Foundation, the organisation he established to help students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds access higher education.

Explaining his motivation, Suriya said he did not view the initiative merely as social service. Instead, he considered it a responsibility towards the people whose support had helped shape his identity and career.

He also made it clear that the foundation's activities were not driven by any political agenda.

Speaking about the connection between education and social progress, the actor stressed that young people should understand the realities of politics, including its challenges and responsibilities, before considering a career in the field. He also called for greater emphasis on education as a means of bringing about meaningful change.

Suriya speaks about corruption and the need for education

Addressing corruption, Suriya described it as one of society's major challenges and argued that tackling it required individual accountability rather than relying solely on someone else to bring about change.

He urged people to examine their own actions and take a stand against corrupt practices in their everyday lives. The actor also pointed to ignorance as a factor behind several social problems, stressing that education was essential to addressing them.

There has also been speculation about Suriya's own political plans in the past. In June this year, the All India Suriya Fans Club issued a clarification stating that the actor had no plans to enter politics. The organisation also said that remarks made by a former office-bearer suggesting otherwise represented his personal views.

For now, Suriya appears keen to keep his focus on cinema and his social initiatives, even as he continues to follow political developments closely.
