Helmed by Sudha Kongara, Soorarai Pottru revolved around the life of a retired Army Captain GR Gopinath, who was the founder of the low-cost airline, Air Deccan. It was based on Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey. The Hindi remake will be produced by Suriya’s 2D Entertainment and Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment.

Suriya also previously said, “The love and appreciation that was showered on Soorarai Pottru was unprecedented! From the minute I first heard this story I felt this had 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 always made quality content, to tell the inspiring story of Captain Gopinath in Hindi.”
