EXCLUSIVE: Soori explains his anger for Seemaraja and Saamy Square comedy's negative response - WATCH VIDEO!

Leading Tamil comedy actor Soori is the talk of the town after his spectacular performance in National Award-winning filmmaker Vetri Maaran's Viduthalai: Part 1. With the period crime drama film turning out to be a success and all eyes now set for the second installment, which is expected to come out later this year, the comedian turned hero sat down with National Award-winning film critic Baradwaj Rangan, the Editor-in-Chief of Galatta Plus, and opened up on the reason for his frustrated response to the reviews over his performance in films like Seemaraja and Saamy Square.

Speaking about angry response the backlash for his comedy in Seemaraja and Saamy Square, Soori said, "I don't remember now, but even if I did say something, it wouldn't be for a namesake. If I know the context of the situation both before and after, I'll be able to talk about it correctly. Victory and defeat are a part of life, right? Whatever I think has to be liked in the right manner by everyone is not always possible. At some juncture, my thought process might across as wrong to you. My actions might appear wrong to you. A comedian will be looking to score from the moment he steps out of his house till he finishes shooting for the day. As far as I know and my experience, all the other characters will get an instruction to do what's been planned. Only a comedian will want to score a lot more and get bigger claps. During those times, we'll have planned one thing and won't do it. In such occasions, I'll be ready to put in that extra effort, but on some instances, I won't get that space. In such a situation, I don't want to argue and achieve that. I personally will think that I don't want everyone's gaze to fall on me. I'll try to explain the comedy scene I have in my mind and your face will convey whether you approve it or we need to proceed to something else. I'll never waste the time." 

Soori further explained, "I don't know who will have much experience in this, but more than a director or a cameraman, comedians will be more knowledgeable in this, I personally feel. The reason being they'll have done five films and the comedian has done around 150 films. In such situations, I'll try to explain with affection that the sequence will not work out as planned. There will be occasions where some scenes will get claps, but there are also instances where they have also failed. In such a scenario, I'll realize then that I argued for the scene to be made in a specific manner till the last minute during dubbing and should have rather listened to the director instead. On other occasions, the sequences have received big claps and the director will call me up and wish me. So, a comedian has that good little experience on what will work and what won't for the big screen."

In addition, Soori stated, "During such circumstances, we'll have done a few things and in some other instances, we won't be able do as we plan. And, sometimes, we won't be able to do for some heroes as we expect since we have to keep in mind their fans as well.  At such a time, I may have missed the mark. But, it's not really my fault. I'm ready to act. In a film, if something particularly is not right, they will point that out. But, when it comes to the comedy, they say the comedian has killed the entire film. How is that fair? Sometimes, what we plan doesn't happen. I too have told a few people that you're all speaking without seeing what has happened. But, you go and see how much hard work he's putting in to bring out the best. I recently told someone that as a comedian, I used to be serious all the time and would keep thinking about the sequence. But, as Kumaresan in Viduthalai, I was happy as a bee because all the responsibilities handled by the director. Comedy, on the other hand, is not like that. If I have combination scene with Vijay sir, I'll have to prepare for the entire sequence taking into consideration the other artistes and their responses."
