Soori is currently playing the lead role in the film 'Mandadi', which is directed by Madimaaran Pugazhendhi. He is also part of 'Yezhukadal Yezhumalai' directed by Ram, and the film is delayed to hit the big screens.
Now, he spoke about his experiences in Madurai. "I have faced many struggles in my film career, but my passion for movies and commitment towards cinema have always stood by me," Soori said.
Soori's breakthrough moment
Speaking at a public event in Madurai, Soori started by sharing his experiences in the film industry, saying he made his debut appearance in a love story and his secondary role in
Ajith's 'Ji' film. He described the release of 'Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu' in 2009 as a turning point, when even a brief comedy scene—the “parotta comedy” sequence—earned huge audience appreciation. Overwhelmed by the response, Soori admitted that he was moved to tears, with his hands and legs trembling, marking the moment when he realized the potential of his career in cinema.
Soori shares lessons of perseverance
Reflecting on the struggles he faced, Soori shared how life had tested him repeatedly. He openly discussed his difficulties, rejections, and humiliating experiences, never losing his hopes. "In life, the guy who hits the ground, stands again, a fighter against odds is much more powerful than the successful guy, without effort," released beautiful words which inspire young minds and followers with his self-belief.
The talented actor highlights his dedication and commitment
Soori also narrated a rather touching story about how he got his first break in the film industry. He recounted that when he finally got a chance, he was so nervous that he was shaking his hands and legs in nervousness and cried profusely. He was offered the role but was suggested by another actor for it and that he should remove his shirt for the scene right away. To this, he instantly obliged in a selfless manner and showed his willingness and eagerness to take advantage of every situation he has found himself in.
