No discussion of Surya in Telugu is complete without Ghajini (2005). When the film was dubbed into Telugu, it became a cultural earthquake. Surya’s portrayal of Sanjay Ramaswamy—a wealthy businessman suffering from short-term memory loss—was revolutionary. For the first time, Telugu audiences saw a hero who did not just dance around trees but sported a chiseled physique with amnesia as a tragic flaw. The interval block, where he kills a thug only to forget it seconds later, became legendary. Ghajini single-handedly elevated Surya from a "Tamil hero" to a "Telugu family icon."

Surya’s entry into the Telugu market was not a grand, calculated launch. His early 2000s films like Nerukku Ner (1997) and Friends (2001) were watched primarily by niche Tamil audiences in cities like Hyderabad. However, the shift began with Nuvvu Nenu Prema (the Telugu dub of Mounam Pesiyadhe ). While the film performed moderately, it established Surya’s "boy-next-door" charm. Yet, it was Surya Son of Krishnan (the Telugu dub of Pithamagan ) that showed Telugu viewers his range—playing a rustic, silent village brute alongside Vikram.

The mid-2010s were challenging. Films like Anjaan ( Sikandar ) and Masss ( Rakshasudu ) failed to connect, with Telugu critics pointing out weak plots and over-the-top action. However, Surya reinvented himself with 24 (2016). Dubbed as 24 Hours , this science-fiction film about a time-traveling watch saw Surya play a triple role (hero, villain, and comic relief). It was a box office success in Telugu, proving his resilience.
