The Hindi remake of the film will be directed by Sudha Kongara who had helmed the Tamil film as well. While the movie has been officially announced, the makers have not yet revealed which actor will be stepping into Suriya’s shoes for it.
However, according to a report in Times of India, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham and Akshay Kumar are being considered for the film. Well, let’s wait and watch which actor will be finalised for the Soorarai Pottru Hindi remake.
The Tamil film also featured Paresh Rawal and Aparna Balamurali in pivotal roles. The movie was partly inspired by the life of Simplifly Deccan founder G. R. Gopinath.
