He Earned Just ₹20 a Day… Then Became a Tamil Cinema Star | Soori Story

He once earned just ₹20 a day. He worked as a cleaner, painted walls, worked as a lightman on film sets—and at one point, he reportedly went two days without food before fainting during an audition. Today, Soori is one of the most recognizable actors in Tamil cinema. But his journey to success was anything but easy. From his early life near Madurai to his struggles in Chennai, Soori did whatever work he could find while holding onto one dream — becoming an actor. For years, he appeared in small and uncredited roles. Then came a memorable parotta-eating scene in Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu, which gave him the identity of “Parotta Soori.” But the biggest transformation came when director Vetrimaaran gave him the opportunity to play Constable Kumaresan in Viduthalai Part 1. The actor known mainly for comedy showed audiences a completely different side of his talent.
