Soori on ‘Viduthalai’, the story behind its making, and his takeaway from a 25-year journey

The Hindu  

In both of Vetri Maaran’s Viduthalai films, comedian Soori is playing the kadhayin naayagan marking his first as the lead star. Yes, I’ve always been keen on working with Vetri Maaran sir, although people around me would say his films won’t have my style of comedy. Vetri sir was also keen to ensure that I didn’t miss any of my films as a comedian during the shoot of Viduthalai. When I told him I had got the chance to act in Rajini sir’s Annaatthe, he said it was every actor’s dream to work with Rajinikanth and asked me to go ahead.
