His mother advises him to channel his anger only on Saturdays. Surya spends the week compiling a list of grievances and seeks revenge on those who have wronged him, but only acts on Saturdays.

On Saturday, Nani shared an Instagram post with the crew of Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. The squad can be seen posing in a cinema hall. “With the men behind the madness,” Nani wrote in the caption. Check it out:
Previously, in an interview with ETimes, Nani shared how he does not see Saripodhaa Sanivaaram aka Surya’s Saturday as a pan-India film. He said, “I’m not looking at Surya’s Saturday as a pan-India film, in fact, it is going to be a limited release in Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. It is for people who want to watch the film in their own language. This is not to make any numbers or to be called a pan-India film etc. I’m just trying to make the film available to those who have started watching me on OTT or otherwise.”
The actor added, “A lot of time I get to see the love the North audience or Hindi audience has given me. They really liked my last film Hi Papa and Dasara. So Surya’s Saturday is primarily a Telugu release and this time we are going for a slightly wider release in Tamil. Also, there is no comparison with RRR, Pushpa or Baahubali, I’m just a humble actor coming with a humble film.”
Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is running in theatres in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.
