Tamil star Suriya's 2020 hit "Soorarai Pottru" will be remade in Hindi and will be directed by Sudha Kongara, who helmed the Tamil original.

"Soorarai Pottru" is the story of Nedumaaran Rajangam or Maara, played by 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 Captain GR Gopinath.

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 has to be a pan India film, because the soul of it was such. It gives me immense pleasure to partner with Abundantia Entertainment, who have al made quality content, to tell the inspiring story of Captain Gopinath in Hindi." Adding to this, Captain GR Gopinath, founder of Air Deccan, says: "I have been overwhelmed with the response to 'Soorarai Pottru' and now eagerly look forward to the film's Hindi adaptation."



The Tamil film was among the ten Indian films to be screened in the Best Foreign Film category at the 78th Golden Globe Awards and was also sent for the 93rd Academy Awards.
