Birthday Boy Soori Opens Up About Viduthalai And Vetri Maaran's Advice To Him

Comedy actor Soori is celebrating his birthday today. He surprised everyone by sharing a stunning video of his makeover. He can be seen sporting six-packs and a fit physique. Social media is filled with wishes from his colleagues, fans, and friends from the film industry. On the work front, Soori is waiting for the release of his next film, Viduthalai. For Viduthalai, he has joined up with director Vetri Maaran. While he plays the lead role, Vijay Sethupathi will play a pivotal role in the film. Soori, in a recent interview with the Times of India, spoke about his film, Viduthalai, and Vetri Maaran's advice to him.

Soori said, "I got this offer over two-and-a-half years ago. I got a call from Vetri Maaran Annan's side saying that he was looking to cast me in a film he was planning to direct. I had been getting a few offers to play the lead in the last five to six years, but I did not take them up. I felt I did not have to play a lead role just for the sake of playing one, and if I did act as a lead, it should be the right film. Plus, I was acting as a comedian in so many films with hardly a break. I felt the film should be much more than an out-and-out comedy. So, when I did get this call from Vetri Maaran Annan's office, I did not hesitate even for a second. They say that God will give us an opportunity and we should grab it with both hands. And I felt this was the opportunity that I was being given."
