It was just today morning when the makers announced that there will be a Hindi Remake of Suriya’s critically acclaimed film, Soorarai Pottru. Although, nothing about the casting for the Hindi remake is yet to be finalised, some names of the stars like Ajay Devgn, John Abraham, Akshay Kumar, and Hrithik Roshan have come forward.
The film was inspired in part by events in the life of Capt. G.R. Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan. It was one of ten Indian films selected for the 78th Golden Globe Awards’ Best Foreign Film category, and it was also nominated for the 93rd Academy Awards. With a rating of 9.1, ‘Soorarai Pottru’ created history as the only Indian film to be listed third on IMDb’s highest rated films list only behind two legendary films – Shawshank Redemption (1994) and The Godfather (1972).
