Parotta Soori thanks his senior Goundamani and Sundar C for giving him his first acting opportunity in 2000:
Soori made parotta famous in Tamil Nadu, or parotta made Soori famous, is a debate worth watching. Such is the influence of that one scene in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu film that made Soori famous for the past ten years. But Soori wants to remember something that happened even ten years before it. He thanks Goundamani and Sundar C for allowing him to speak his first dialogue in their movie Kannan Varuvaan released on 25th May 2000. He has acted previously in three movies in 1999 including Sangamam, but there were no dialogues for him in those movies. Kannan Varuvaan did not give him a break but with the first dialogue on the big screen, provided him an opportunity to make him a star comedian ten years later and to continue until now.
Soori and Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu
Though Soori acted in a scene in Kannan Varuvaan in 2000, the next ten years was only suffering for him until 2009. It was the village sports drama film Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu by Suseenthiran that made Soori the star comedian, he is now. His native village looks and acting at that time was a welcome to the Tamil film field. Above all the lines of "Ellathium Alinga, Mothalla Irunthu Podunga" for parotta eating competition was talked by everyone not only at that time but also now. That is the impact of that scene which Soori should also be thankful.
