This programme will be a game changer not only for Vijay TV but also for Tamil television. We are proud we have managed to rope in Suriya to host the show. Sriram, general manager, Vijay TV, says, “This is truly the first international format to hit the Tamil television screens and we are excited about it. Talking about Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi, K. The shooting of NVOK's first season begins in January 2012 and the show is all set to be launched in February 2012. The sheer energy he exudes, his total involvement during the preparation for the shoot and his absolute concentration taught me many lessons. I think it is this dedication that's responsible for the show's success,” observes Suriya. Despite his stature and busy schedule, the hard work he puts in each episode is beyond compare. “During the several days I spent in Mumbai, I have closely observed how AB works. At this orientation, Suriya has had the chance to see Amitabh Bachchan (AB) in action on the set of KBC.

It will give me an opportunity to meet the common people and connect with them, something I have never been able to do as a film star,” says Suriya, who is in the midst of an orientation workshop with Siddhartha Basu, director of KBC and NVOK. “This is my small screen debut, and I am excited it is through a well-established game show. Now, we will see Suriya as Suriya - stylish, suave, natural and, of course, handsome - not on the silver screen but on television, as the host of Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi (NVOK), the Tamil version of Kaun Banega Crorepathi (KBC).Game changer We have seen Suriya play larger-than-life roles in films such as “Perazhagan,” “Ghajini,” “Singam” and “7-aam Arivu.” In fact, in most of the films he has done, we remember him as the characters - such has been his portrayal. The show will be launched on Vijay TV in February 2012 Suriya is all set to make a big impact on the small screen as the host of Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi, the Tamil version of KBC.
