Many hail his character as the highlight of the movie. Social media posts showering praises for Guru’s brilliant portrayal of the villain is rampant now.
“I could only see him in the movie. The superhero faces a supervillain. How can anyone call that man a villain? He is so overwhelmed by love. However, he took the side of the wrong. Even though what he did was not right, he is not a grave sinner,” wrote a viewer on social media. Meanwhile, some others recommend films like 'Vanjagar Ulakam', ‘Anju Sundarikal’, ‘Joker’, ‘Jai Bhim’ and ‘Kohinoor’ as some of the must-watch movies of Guru Somasundaram.
Critics wrote that the makers of ‘Minnal Murali’ have managed to give a unique personality for the villain too. Guru Somasundaram has done an incredible job portraying the emotional nuances of Shibu. Veteran actor Harisree Ashokan too impressed the audience with a unique character. The movie boasts of an ensemble cast of Baiju, Aju Varghese, Vashisht Umesh, Jude Anthany, Mamukkoya and P Balachandran.
Guru Somasundaram began his acting career through theatre. He was active in the theatre industry from 2002 to 2011. He made his silver screen debut in the critically acclaimed ‘Aaranya Kaandam’ directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja, in 2011.
