Surya organizes surprise bash for Santosh Sivan

Actor Surya recently threw a surprise bash for Santhosh Sivan in Mumbai to celebrate the news about the cinematographer being chosen for the Padma Shri. Santosh had no clue about the plan until he landed at the party, which was attended by top film celebrities including Shruti Haasan, Madhavan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Prabhudheva and Samantha. Of course, the entire team of Anjaan, which is currently being shot, were also present at the do.

Santosh Sivan tells , "After we wrapped up the day's shoot, the team called me to hunt for a few locations for the film's next schedule. I told them that I was tired and would look into it later. But, they compelled me to take a look for a couple of spots and so I went with them. First, we saw a place and director Lingusamy said that he didn't like it. At that juncture, I had no clue about what they'd planned. Then they took me to a hotel where I saw Surya and the entire crew waiting for me. The best part of the party was the surprise element - I really didn't know how and when Surya planned it, as I was very much around him during the shoot. That was just cool!"

The actor also organized a special dance show for the ace cinematographer. He adds, "They performed some of the hit songs from my films and I enjoyed all of them, especially Chaiya Chaiya. I can't thank Surya enough for this surprise."
