'My dad is my inspiration', Soori

Comedian Soori who is busy promoting his film Poduvaaga Emmansu Thangam met the press yesterday and interacted with them, an excerpt is as follows:

“I came to Chennai in 1996 to join the film industry. I assisted art directors since I was good at painting. When there was no work in cinema, I would work at one of the textile showrooms in T.Nagar. I always keep people around me happy with my witty one-liners. Everyone used to praise me for my comic sense, which I inherited from my dad who passed away recently. He has always remained my inspiration. I did a small role in Lingusamy’s Ji alongside Ajith but it was Kaadhal that got me the recognition. Through Suseenthiran’s Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu I got the moniker ‘Parotta’ Soori”.

To a poser on when he would become a hero, he said, “I don’t think about it, and I am happy as a comedian and want to improve myself and work as one.” Click the Movie button below for more info:
