THE RISE OF GARUDAN SOORI!

He pursued his passion for acting and had a start as a comedian but quickly gained popularity with his unique style and impeccable timing, tickling the funny bones of audiences across Tamil Nadu.

Soori's journey started with humble he beginnings, hails from a small village Rajakkoor in Madurai District and despite soaring to great heights, he has remained grounded, preserving his small-town charisma. This year has been exceptionally significant for his career on multiple fronts. Not only has he achieved commercial success, but his films have also garnered critical acclaim, earning recognition on the international stage. He has also put in plenty of effort for Garudan in terms of body language, dialogue delivery and getting into the skin of the character.

A quick look at his international rendezvous and then back to his career here. His Kottukkaali directed by P S Vinothraj became the first Tamil film to premiere at the Berlin Film International Film Festival and has now gone to the Transilvania International Film Festival. The shoot of Viduthalai Part 2 is still filming but was combined with Viduthalai Part I and released at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2024. The team was given a standing ovation for five minutes. Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai premiered at the International Film. Festival Rotterdam and had a positive response.

Looking back at his career path, he initially received minuscule parts but that did not deter him from his dream. He went on to make a name for himself with his role in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (2009). His role in this film which featured the famous 'parotta competition' scene where he shocks the hotelier by eating 50 parottas and getting ready to eat the same number once again brought him the suffix "Parotta."
