Soori (actor)

Ramalakshmanan Muthuchamy, professionally known as Soori, is an Indian actor and comedian who predominantly appears in Tamil film industry.

Career

Soori moved from Madurai to Chennai in 1996 with the intention of becoming an actor in the Tamil film industry. After failing to get any roles, he took up work in the city as a cleaner to fund his acting ambitions.

He made occasional uncredited roles in films portraying a junior artiste who would appear in comedy scenes, appearing in films such as Winner (2003).

Soori appeared in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (2009). He got the suffix "Parotta" to his name because of the 'parotta competition' scene in which he stuns the hotelier by eating 50 parottas and getting ready to eat the same number once again. He has appeared in Sundarapandian (2012), Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (2013), Pandiya Naadu (2013) and Jilla (2014).

Soori played the main protagonist in director Vetrimaaran's period crime thriller Viduthalai Part 1 (2023). His performance garnered highly positive appreciation by critics as well as audiences.
