Actor Suriya is currently busy promoting his pan-India film Kanguva across the country. Though it is his first pan-India film, Suriya needs no introduction to the North Indian audiences. Many of his films were remade into Hindi. However, Suriya credits his popularity in North India to Bollywood Superstar Aamir Khan. In an interview, Suriya said that Aamir spoke about him and the original Ghajini so many times while promoting the Hindi version of the film and made Suriya popular in the North. He expressed his gratitude towards Aamir Khan for introducing him to the North Indian audience and giving him recognition in the Hindi film industry.

Suriya mentioned that Ghajini was a significant film for him as it helped break language barriers and reach a wider audience. Aamir Khan's support and promotion of the film played a crucial role in expanding Suriya's fan base beyond the South Indian film industry. Suriya also acknowledged Aamir's efforts in highlighting the original actors and director of the film during the promotion, which is not common in the case of remakes. Suriya's association with Bollywood through remakes like Ghajini, Khaakha Khaakha, Singham, and Soorarai Pottru has further solidified his presence in the North Indian film market. With Aamir Khan's support and recognition, Suriya continues to enjoy popularity and success in both the South and North Indian film industries.
