It was Gautam Menon's cop movie Kaakha Kaakha that catapulted Surya to star status.
Surya played Anbuselvan, an IPS officer whose life is full of hard core criminals, encounters and the death of friends.
Surya nailed the role with his perfect body language, crew-cut and muscle-tone. The director's screenplay accentuated his stellar performance.
With Harris Jeyaraj's musical score becoming a smash-hit, this one spawned a dozen stylish cop-stories. It had an additional merit: it's widely believed to have begun the Surya-Jyothika courtship, which later led to a spectacular wedding.
