Soori on Kottukkaali

As the release date of the film approaches, the actor took to social media to share a heartfelt note about his movie. He revealed that his character, named Pandi, is someone who could be found in every family. “Kottukkaali will be completely different from my previous films like Viduthalai and Garudan. This is a mainstream, content-oriented film, that is very close to reality. My character, Pandi, is someone who could be found in every family,” he said. 

“Pandi strongly believes in the relationships and values that society has taught him. During the filming process, I was very careful about accurately portraying the mental anguish between the societal creation of Pandi, and Pandi as an individual. I believe I’ve done justice. Kottukkaali is definitely a must-watch film.”
