Soori is a famous comedian in the Tamil film industry who has acted with top actors.He started his career in 1996 with the film Kannan Varuvaan.
Now, after 25 years in the industry, he is the lead actor in Vetrimaaran’s film, Viduthalai, which is releasing in two parts.The first part is releasing on March 31.
Soori was excited when Vetrimaaran offered him the role of Mani a few years ago, but it never materialized.Then, Vetrimaaran called him for a film set in Dubai, but the pandemic caused it to be dropped.
Finally, Soori got lucky with Thunaivan, a short story by B Jeyamohan, which is the basis for Viduthalai.Soori plays the role of Kumaresan, a police constable.
Soori was not confident that he could deliver what Vetrimaaran expected since he had mostly played comedian roles.However, Vetrimaaran told him to understand what he said and enact it without bringing in the Soori comedian elements.
Soori understood the director’s vision while shooting in the Sathyamangalam forest and gave it his all.
Shooting was mentally and physically tough for Soori, but he made sure he did his best.After the shoot was completed, Vetrimaaran appreciated Soori’s hard work and felt that no one other than him could have done the role of Kumaresan.
This is the first time Vijay Sethupathi worked with Vetrimaaran.
Soori played the lead actor for the first time in his life and matched up to Vijay Sethupathi on screen.Soori wants to explore more lead roles while continuing as a comedian.
Vetrimaaran is a film institute by himself, and Soori learned some important things from him.He works hard 24 by 7 and keeps improving every take until he gets the right one.Viduthalai is releasing on March 31, and Soori is nervous since it is the first time he is playing the lead role.He is eager to see how the audience will react.
