2D Entertainment and Abundantia Entertainment on Monday announced the Hindi remake of the globally applauded movie Soorarai Pottru. The film is an emotional and impactful story of Nedumaaran Rajangam or Maara, played by actor Suriya, who sets out to make the common man fly and, in the process, takes on the world’s most capital-intensive industry with the help of his family, friends and sheer will-power. The film was partly inspired by events from the life of Air Deccan founder Capt. GR Gopinath. It was among the 10 Indian films to be screened under the Best Foreign Film category at the 78th Golden Globe Awards and was also sent for screening at the 93rd Academy Awards.

Actor-producer and founder of 2D Entertainment, Suriya, says, “The love and appreciation that was showered on Soorarai Pottru was unprecedented! From the minute I first heard this story, I felt this had to be a pan-Indian film. It gives me immense pleasure to partner with Abundantia Entertainment, who have always made quality content.”
