Actor Soori who started his career as a junior artiste in 1997 through his sheer hard work gained recognition as a small-time comedian and later became one of the most sought after in Tamil cinema. He has featureded in a number of hit films namely 'Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam', 'Rajini Murugan', 'Thillu Mullu', 'Thesingu Raja', 'Jilla' and 'Velayunu Vandutta Vellaikaran'.

Soori after playing the parallel leads in a few films has now turned hero for a new movie directed by Vettrimaaran and produced by Elred Kumar. He has wowed netizens by developing six packs for the role and will soon start shooting for the project.

Meanwhile Soori approached the Saidapet Court in regards to a cheating case by a producer and an ex-cop who embezzled 2.7 Crores from him. According to the complaint producer Anbuvel Rajan signed for a movie 'Veera Dheera Sooran' in 2015 but did not pay his salary dues to the tune of 40 lakhs.

When Soori asked for his salary balance, Anbuvel Rajan and Ramesh Kudavala an ex-cop told him that they cannot pay him the money right then but instead can buy him a land on the outskirts of Chennai if he can pay extra. Believing them Soori had paid the duo 2.7 Crores but they did not get him the land on top of not paying him his dues.

The court has ordered the Adyar police station to file a case against Ramesh and Anbuvel and proceed legally against them giving Soori a glimmer of hope to recover his hard-earned money.
