Having learnt theater under guru Barry John Samir Soni steps into the shoes of an eccentric film director in the film I Hate Luv Storys with great ease.
The actor who plays a small but pivotal role in the film has been receiving rave reviews and has left a favorable impression on the audiences and critics alike.
Says Sarita Tanwar,MidDay "In IHLS Samir Soni is lovable as the eccentric director -- he's the show-stealer every time he's on screen"
In spite of playing a supporting character in the film Samir Soni- the effortless actor is overwhelmed at the response his character has generated.
Adds acclaimed critic Taran Adarsh "Samir Soni's character reminds you of a certain hi-profile director and he plays the part extremely well".
Not leaving his runaway hit of a play behind Samir Soni also plays a bisexual character in Anything But Love a play that juggles around with only two characters- Seema (Mandira Bedi) and Anish (Sameer Soni) and their trouble to face up with each others drawbacks .
Says a trade analyst " Samir Soni is a very bankable actor be it in theatre or in films. He has been impressive in his role that spoofs a director in IHLS and has created a niche for himself in spite of not being a front man"
