He says that Suresh Gopi's universal appeal, his power-packed performances in mass action movies, his excellent screen presence, and dialogue delivery were the factors that made him a favorite in the South Indian movie market. Hassan observes that action – masala movies had always enjoyed a favorable market in South India.

Had filmmakers tried to explore his real potential, then a small industry like Malayalam cinema could have conquered many significant milestones,' says Khader Hassar. Suresh Gopi was the only Malayali actor who enjoyed an amazing market for his dubbed movies. Tiger (Police Samrajyam) was another hit. Suresh Gopi had visited Hyderabad to promote this movie. Later, in 2005, he made a royal comeback with Bhatratchandran IPS. It was around this time that he took a break from the Malayalam cinema as well. It was when Suresh Gopi was establishing his stardom that a temporary ban on dubbed movies was imposed in the Telugu industry due to some problems in the cinema organizations. But his next movies Pathram (Journalist), FIR, and Nariman (Senapathi and Farz ki Pukar) were hits. However, the Telugu/Tamil version of Lelam (Royal Challengu/Lelam) was a box office dud. In 1996, his three big-budget movies were simultaneously released in three or four languages. Movies like Rajaputhran and Mahatma too became successes. 'I have heard that he was offered lots of projects in Tamil and Telugu during those days. The actor repeated his astounding success in Telugu and Tamil film industries with Delhi Diary. This movie created a milestone by releasing simultaneously in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. Hassan calls this movie one of the finest creations of veteran filmmaker Bhadran. It created a buzz as the mega action thriller in which lady superstar Vijayasanthi shared screen space with Supreme Star Suresh Gopi. Movie Yuvathurki (Delhi Diary in Telugu), produced by Amitab Bachchan’s ABCL was Suresh Gopi's biggest movie that came out in the action genre. These movies had the ability to be sold in any markets,' explains Hassan. His stardom has found multiple markets for his films.

Suresh Gopi rightly earned the position of a complete south superstar. An actor from Kerala had risen as one of the 5 actors (Kamal Haasan, Rajnikant, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Suresh Gopi) whose movies had a pan South Indian appeal in the 1990s. After the success of Highway, many older Malayalam movies in which Suresh appeared in supporting roles too were marketed in the Tamil and the Telugu industries. It had created a massive hype in Andhra even before it hit the theatres. Similarly, Highway too was a blockbuster. The movie Kashmiram was a big hit under the title New Delhi. 'It was big news at that time when the Tamil and Telugu rights of the movie Thakshashila were sold even before its shooting began.
