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). The actor appeared in '' Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu'' (2009). Soori got this suffix 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). He acted in '' Rajini Murugan'' (2016) '' Idhu Namma Aalu'' (2016), '' Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran'' (2016) and '' Sangili Bungili Kadhava Thorae'' (2017). He was seen in Sivakarthikeyan's '' Seema Raja'' (2018) and Vikram's '' Saamy Square'' (2018). However, his performances in these two films were brutally criticised. Soori had back-to-back releases with '' Namma Veettu Pillai'' (2019) and '' Sangathamizhan'' (2019).
