Soori’s efforts for Kottukkaali
Called as The Adamant Girl in its international title, Kottukkaali stars Anna Ben and Soori in the lead roles. Speaking about working on his character, Soori said to Galatta Plus Tamil, “Everyone who saw the film asked me how I managed to get the certain type of voice modulation. When I said them, they were even more shocked. I wanted to change my voice and visited the doctor to know what I could do so that I sounded like I have a throat infection and had to speak in a husky voice. The doctor was shocked to know that I had wanted to damage my voice. Even as he was skeptical, he suggested some traditional plants which tends to arrest one's voice. That was how I was able to bring the character's voice.”
