Mumbai, January 29 - Tamil superstar Suriya's biographical drama, "Soorarai Pottru", received wide acknowledgment through its digital premiere in 2020. Later, the movie was announced to be made in Hindi with Suriya's 2D Entertainment and Vikram Malhotra's Abundantia Entertainment as producer.

While it wasn't revealed who will step into the shoes of Suriya for the Hindi, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar along with Shahid Kapoor are the two names that were reportedly discussed to lead the Hindi remake, which will be directed by the original director Sudha Kongara.



According to reports, it is now Akshay Kumar, who will be headlining this critically hailed subject inspired by events from the life of Simplifly Deccan founder G. R. Gopinath as described in his memoir Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey. The reports say that Akshay Kumar has already given his nod to this film and signed the dotted lines recently.

The original Tamil "Soorarai Pottru" struck the chord of audiences with its emotional and inspiring quotient. It is said that to maintain that heart-to-heart connection with North Indian audiences, the Hindi screenplay has been written brilliantly that will definitely appeal to the viewers. "Soorarai Pottru" left an everlasting impact on the audiences, and the Hindi makers are hoping to get the same love and appreciation as the original.

It will also be the first time Suriya will collaborate with Akshay in any form. The shooting of the Hindi remake is expected to begin soon after Akshay's next "Selfiee", co-starring Emraan Hashmi with Dharma Productions, which will go on floors in February next month.



Akshay Kumar, meanwhile, will be busy throughout the year with back-to-back films lined to shoot this year. After "Selfiee" and "Soorarai Pottru" remake, he will shoot for his digital debut series "The End", followed by Ali Abbas Zafar's highly-awaited action-comedy film, tentatively titled "Bade Miyaan Chhote Miyaan". Tiger Shroff will join Akshay for the first time in this yet-to-be-announced film. Akshay then has Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's "Gorkha" to shoot this year.

Apart from starting new films, the ever-busy Khiladi Kumar will have nearly half a dozen releases in 2022. His "Bachchan Pandey" is slated for March 18 release, followed by "Rakshan Bandhan" in August, "Ram Setu" on Diwali, and 3 more releases in the form of "OMG 2", "Cinderella", and "Prithviraj". "Prithviraj" was supposed to release on January 21st, but will now release on a later date after getting postponed.
