Suriya,
last
seen
in
the
box
office
dud
NGK,
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
the
eagerly
awaited
Kaappaan,
slated
to
arrive
in
theatres
on
September
20,
2019.
The
film,
helmed
by
noted
filmmaker
KV
Anand,
promises
to
be
a
captivating
thriller,
which
has
helped
it
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
movie
buffs.
Now,
here
is
some
big
news
about
the
film.
Kaappaan's
worldwide
theatrical
rights
have
been
sold
for
Rs
44.5
crore,
which
means
that
it
has
to
gross
Rs
85
crore
in
order
to
break-even.
Similarly,
the
worldwide
theatrical
rights
of
Bandobast,
Kaappaan's
Telugu
version,
have
fetched
Rs
9.5
crore,
and
this
means
that
it
has
to
gross
Rs
16
crore
to
reach
break-even.
Kaappaan,
featuring
Suriya
in
a
brand
new
avatar,
has
grabbed
plenty
of
attention
due
to
its
latest
trailer,
which
fans
feel
is
a
lot
better
than
the
one
released
earlier.
The
film
features
Mollywood
hero
Mohanlal
as
the
parallel
lead,
and
this
might
help
it
do
well
in
Kerala.
Actors
Sayyeshaa
and
Arya,
who
tied
the
knot
a
few
months
ago,
too
are
a
part
of
the
cast.
Recently,
while
speaking
to
a
leading
website,
Suriya
said
that
Kaappaan
deals
with
burning
issues
such
as
agriculture
and
national
security,
which
makes
it
an
ambitious
attempt
at
storytelling.
"Kaappaan's
canvas
expands
from
New
Delhi
to
Kanyakumari,
and
it's
about
what
happens
in
politics,
national
security
and
the
agriculture
sector.
I
play
a
commando
from
the
Special
Protection
Group
(SPG),
who
is
deputed
to
provide
security
to
the
Prime
Minister
and
is
always
ready
to
take
a
bullet
for
him," Suriya
added.
Once
Kaappaan
hits
screens,
Suriya
will
most
probably
turn
his
attention
to
Soorarai
Pottru,
directed
by
Irudhi
Suttru
fame
Sudha
Kongara.
The
film,
revolving
around
the
life
of
Air
Deccan
founder
Captain
GR
Gopinath,
has
Kerala
girl
Aparna
Balamurali
as
the
leading
lady.
