Actor Soori interview: About “Maaman”, if Vetri Maaran will revive their “Ajnabi” adaptation
“Vanhorai Vaazhavaikkum Chennai.“When actor Soori came to Chennai in 1996, the city may have tested his belief in the idiom, the habit that loosely translated into “Chennai sheltered all those seeking”. When asked about the meaning of the city to him, Soori had nostalgia for his struggle era, and recalling the era he mentioned, those who moved to Chennai with celluloid dreams were not even seen. I knew I could survive in the city in some way.” He added that the city taught him to live even before he entered the film industry. “It also taught me the importance of relationships and family. I had to grow in different ways, not step by step, but I’ve reached this level of growth. I still have a long way to go, but I’m grateful to this creature. Chennai Vandhorai VaazhavaikkumSori said.
Two years later, in 1998, Soori was Maru MalarchiAfter that, he began to act as a suit assistant. “At that time, I just wanted to perform, but you can’t ask for an acting skill easily. I worked as a carpenter or painter in a movie, and hopefully it would be helpful to be at the location of the shooting only at the last minute.” That’s exactly how he was in front of Suresh Krissna’s shot Sangamam. “You know I drew it Puli Vesham Kids in the song “Mazhai Thuli”? I should also make sure they don’t jump into the lake and ruin their makeup. “That was an opportunity,” they needed a background artist, and they asked me nearby. After that shooting, I couldn’t fall asleep all night, as if these two seconds were the entire two and a half hours of movies. ”

Then Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu It happened in 2009, making Soori jump into the spotlight as a comedian. Interestingly, he didn’t know that being a comedian was his call. “The nature of my job made me work on a website for four days and then move on, and I focused only on the atmosphere and entertainment of the work. Soori tells how Art Director Muthu hired him instead of doing woodworking, but to entertain his more than one hundred workers. “He just wanted me to be with them and do nothing.” ”
Decades later, Soori has now transformed into a true Tamil movie hero. After successful submission Viduthalai,,,,, Kottukkaaliand garudanSoori is now waiting for release MamanIt is an exciting family drama that, as the title suggests, revolves around the uncle’s feelings for his nephew. The actor said it was to reveal the dramatic shadows to his actors. “I was just focused on bringing unique characters to the audience, so I wanted to do something completely different from the three protagonists in the average family.” Soori did not wait for a story, but decided to write a person himself.

The actor revealed that producer K Kumar asked director Prashanth Pandiyaraj to ask whether Soori could narrate his straight lines. “I absolutely love his online series Vilangubut more importantly, the way he talked to me and the opinions he had heard my story gave me confidence that he could do a great job in this. ” the actor added.
It’s fascinating that the real character chose Soori’s chords for the second round of the cast. Despite being impressed as a comedian, his protagonist looks like it, unlike the comedian we are familiar with. “That’s what I often try to do. I’m not sure how successful I’ve been, but the responses from critics and audiences told me that my efforts were not in vain. Sometimes, in movies like this, garudanI must consciously not show up Old Soli. ” Maman He added that it turned out to be challenging. “The character is a normal family man, or a very excited person, like a man is trapped in a whirlwind of what’s going on in the movie. When he’s a normal person, the guy you’ll see isn’t too far from comedian Soori, so I have to make sure I stay like Inba doesn’t reminisce about the old Soori anymore,” he reveals the old Soori. ”

Soori is more familiar with family artists, who have long ensemble casts – Rajkiran, Swasika, Bala Saravanan, Baba Bhaskar, Viji Chandrasekhar and children actor Prageeth Sivan appear in Mamanwith the female protagonist Aishwarya Lekshmi. He is even the hero and heroine’s mother and uncle. So he must naturally think of punching lines and jokes that could help the movie. “Of course, but I’ll ask the director to let Balah speak those conversations; although we can’t use him a lot MamanHe is used specifically in comedy movies, so he scored correctly with these lines. And, I don’t want to remind you of comedian Soori. ” he stressed.
When we started talking, I asked him about the movie adaptation of Meeran Mitheen’s novel “Ajnabi” Viduthalai. “Mr. Vetri still wants to make that movie. It’s a project we should work with, and we even did it for it. The Covid-19 pandemic has ruined our plans because ‘Ajnabi’ was set up in Dubai.” Is there a plan for a revival project? He said: “He has a lot of commitments right now, so I can’t say for sure. I mean, he did tell me that we’re going to work on another movie again, but we can’t say whether that movie will be an adaptation of ‘ajnabi’.”
back Maman,exist Mandadidirected by Vetri’s colleagues Sefie– Director Mathimaran Pugazhenthi. “This is with Maman;This is a profound theme that requires my efforts both mentally and physically. ” Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malaico-starred by Nivin Pauly, is still unreleased. “The producer told me that he had some movies to be released Yezhu Kadal… But I’m not sure what causes the delay. ”
Soori is now in a largely protected space, not limited by commercial films, so even though he wants to experiment, he doesn’t mind some of the pleasant people of the commercial crowd. “I want all my movies to have a strong story and compelling character writing. I want to do an action movie with a good story now, like Naan Mahaan Alla. Maybe there is another movie that allows me to dance a lot. ”He signed.
Maaman is released in theaters this Friday
