Recently, Suman was felicitated in Guntur on him completing 40 years in the film industry. He was asked about the prospect of joining politics and hands with Pawan Kalyan.

"If my need is felt, I will surely step into politics," the veteran actor commented. About the Jana Sena chief, he said, "Why did no political stalwart raise the issues that he is raising? Why have they failed to solve those problems? Pawan Kalyan's politics transcends both casteism and communalism. Having said that, I won't talk about whether he will succeed in politics. I simply don't know about his future! What's certain is that youngsters are connecting to his speeches."

On the film front, the actor has slowed down in playing character roles. He has done more than 150 films in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam.
