Director KV Anand's Ayan might have gone on to become a superhit, but the director, at a function, revealed that it took some major convincing on his part to make Suriya accept the role.
Anand, who's currently busy with Ko, said, "When I approached Suriya with the one-liner, he said the storyline was pretty old. He felt that movies on smuggling had been done to death in Kollywood. I didn't know how to convince him and then, said that Ayan will be like a Ram Gopal Varma film. I also added that the romance bit in Ayan will be treated like that in Mani Ratnam's ventures and the action sequences will be canned like those in Shankar's films. I finally cajoled the actor after lying through my teeth!"
