Soori is a South Indian actor in Kollywood. His nickname is “Parotta Soori’ which has been derived from his Tamil movie that he had acted. In 2009, he acted in a film ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’(2009) where a scene was shot with a crew of actors, who sit together and eat Parotta by keeping a challenge who eats more Parotta’s. In this scene, Parotta Soori performed his best, so people coined his name as Parotta Soori. Basically, he appeared as a comedian in many Tamil movies. After the film became a blockbuster, he never looked back. He is doing five to six films in a year. Today, this dusky lad with the moustache look has placed him in line with other comedians like Vadivelu, Santhanam and Goundamani. He is in peak of his career today playing comedian roles and doing a number of movies with the lead actors. With his popularity reaching a new height, the actor even now demands to play a lead role in some movies. Although these movies are not yet been officially announced, we can hear the announcement very soon. He has rejected some new movies that came in his hand and want now a scripted-backing role for his comedy touch. It is believed that a film in which he would play a lead actor, a need for new heroine is all the way. This actor was born on August 27, 1977 in Madurai. When he was new in the industry, he shared the screen as one of the junior artistes and did side acting only. Later on, he got comedy roles, which had given him a good chance to show his timing comedy sense and dialogue delivery on the screen. 

He was a very busy actor in between 2011-14, that placed him with other comedians like Vadivelu or Santhanam. There was neck-to-neck completion amongst every comedians and he also got a nice space to expose his great timing comedy sense amidst talented actors and actresses, which became a good factor behind every movies. His best films are Thillu Mullu, Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai and Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara etc. Film lovers today prefer more subtle comedic performers and even opt for a slapstick actor, who can crack jokes in every second of the movies. In that sense, hope Soori will not let down his fans in his near future.

It's no secret that most celebrities use stunt doubles when filming particularly challenging scenes, but it's not something we always remember when caught up in the energy of an action-packed movie. In Indian film industry, particularly in Kollywood and Bollywood, stunt actors are indeed a must.
