Soorarai Pottru director Sudha Kongara will also helm its Hindi remake. She had written the film based on Captain GR Gopinath’s fascinating entrepreneurial journey, who democratized air travel by introducing low-cost airline services.

The film was released directly on Amazon Prime Video in 2020 owing to the pandemic. The movie garnered unanimously positive responses from the critics and audience alike. The Hindi remake, however, will be a theatrical release.

Suriya was last seen in director Pandiraj’s Etharkkum Thunindhavan. And he is preparing to play the lead role in director Vetrimaran’s next Vaadivaasal, which is based on the tradition of the bull-taming sport of Tamil Nadu.
