Actor Suriya visited mosque just to pray, not convert

Chennai, Mar 28: Don’t judge a book by it’s cover perfectly fits this scenario. A video of actor Suriya praying at a mosque in a traditional Muslim attire has been doing rounds on social media and certain sections of the society started assuming that he was converting to the Islamic faith.

The video that was uploaded on YouTube has been going viral and is said to be fake. The media spokesperson for the actor said that the video was taken during a film shooting a few years ago.

The three-minute video was taken in Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, during the shoot of Singam 2 (2013) when music director AR Rahman had invited him to pray.

In the video, he is seen entering the mosque wearing a small cap and garlands around his neck. Suriya’s team took offence to the false propaganda, and the video was taken down.
