The video featuring the mahurat shot for the remake has Radhika breaking a coconut while Akshay and producer Sudha Kongara cheer for her.
Akshay's announcement recieved a mixed reaction on Twitter. While some wished him luck and wrote that they are looking forward to Akshay's version, a few of the superstar's fans seemed to be miffed with him doing one more South remake. A Twitterati wrote, "Please do make promises now that you will not be featuring in any more remakes after this. I hope this will be your last remake film. Plz, be part of the original content. Anyway best wishes. I am sure I would enjoy it as I have not seen the original South movie. @akshaykumar."
Soorarai Pottru helmed by Sudha Kongara, starred Suriya, Aparna Balamurali and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles. Inspired by the book 'Simply Fly', the film revolves around Maara, the son of a teacher, who sets out to make the common man fly and takes on the most capital intensive industry in the world with the help of his friends, family and sheer will power.
The Suriya-starrer was lauded by the critics and the audience. It was selected as one among ten Indian films to be screened under the Best Foreign Film category at the 78th Golden Globe Awards.
