Akshay Kumar, Radhika Madan's 'Soorarai Pottru' Remake To Release On New Date

The Hindi remake of 'Soorarai Pottru' starring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan has been postponed to next year. The film was earlier scheduled to release on September 1 but will now release on February 16. 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter handle to share the news of the new release date of Akshay Kumar-starrer. "AKSHAY KUMAR - SUDHA KONGARA FILM TO ARRIVE NEXT YEAR… #AkshayKumar’s forthcoming film - directed by #SudhaKongara - gets a new release date: Will release in *cinemas* on 16 Feb 2024… Also features #RadhikaMadan and #PareshRawal," he tweeted.

"The move is aimed to ensure apt release window for the film and to give a good 4-month gap from #AkshayKumar’s preceding release," he added.

Akshay Kumar is working on the Hindi remake of the Tamil film which starred Suriya and Aparna Balamurali in the lead and won National Awards as well. The remake is being helmed by Sudha Kongara who directed the original as well.

'Soorarai Pottru' is a dramatized portrayal of retired Army Captain GR Gopinath's life as the founder of the low-cost airline Air Deccan. The Hindi remake is being backed by Suriya and Jyotika.

Both Suriya and Aparna Balamurali bagged the National Award for Best Actor and Actress for the film, 'Soorarai Pottru'. 

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar was last seen in the film 'Selfiee' which was released in the theatres in February. The film was a remake of the Malayalam film 'Driving License'. The film also starred Emraan Hashmi, Diana Penty, and Nushrratt Bharuccha. However, the film failed to perform at the box office. Akshay Kumar will next be seen in the film 'OMG 2' which also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam. The actor also has 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' with Tiger Shroff in the pipeline.
