Suriya’s ‘Soorarai Pottru’ was initially planned as a Christmas release but the latest we hear is that the film has been postponed. It will be hitting screens only by next summer. There are also contrasting reports about the film eyeing a Pongal release but the makers are yet to confirm this. It is a film eagerly awaited not just by the fans but the general audience as well. Sudha Kongara of ‘Irudhi Suttru’ fame is directing the film.
