Actor Suriya’s Tamil hit, Soorarai Pottru (translated as Praise the brave), will be remade in Hindi by Suriya’s 2D Entertainment and Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment. Sudha Kongara, who directed the original, will direct the Hindi remake also. The film is an emotional 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 will power. It was partly inspired by events from the life of Air Deccan founder Capt. G.R. Gopinath. It was among the ten Indian films to be screened under the Best Foreign Film category at the 78th Golden Globe Awards and was also sent for screening at the 93rd Academy Awards.
The cast for the remake is yet to be finalised. Producers: Suriya, Jyotika Sadanah, Rajsekar Pandian and Vikram Malhotra.
