Soorarai Pottru Kerala rights bagged by Spark Pictures

Suriya’s ‘Soorarai Pottru’ is gearing up for summer release. The film’s Kerala distribution rights have been bagged by Spark Pictures. The news was made official just a while back through social medias. Notably, Suriya’s last few films have not fared well at the Kerala box office. So the makers will be hoping to see this one click among the Malayali audience.

‘Soorarai Pottru’ has a good pre-release buzz courtesy the highly promising teaser. Recently, a theme song was released which has also been received well. ‘Irudhi Suttru’ fame Sudha Kongara is directing this film which is loosely based on the life of GR Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan, who is also a retired captain of the Indian army. Sudha has scripted the film along with Shalini Usha Nair.

Suriya plays a character named Nedumaaran Rajangam Maara, a common man hailing from a small town who dreams of owning an aircraft business. Along with Suriya, the cast of ‘Soorarai Pottru’ also includes veterans Paresh Rawal, Jackie Shroff and Mohan Babu in important roles. Malayali actress Aparna Balamurali plays the female lead.

Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment is producing the film jointly with Suriya’s own production house, 2D Entertainment.
