Soorarai
Pottru,
the
Suriya
starrer
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theaters
once
the
all
India
lockdown
comes
to
an
end.
Aparna
Balamurali,
the
popular
Malayalam
actress
is
appearing
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Suriya
in
the
highly
anticipated
project.
Recently,
the
sources
close
to
the
project
made
an
interesting
revelation
about
Aparna's
character
in
Soorarai
Pottru.
As
per
the
reports,
the
young
actress
is
appearing
in
the
role
of
Sundari
aka
Bommi,
a
Madurai-based
young
woman
in
the
movie
which
is
directed
Sudha
Kongara.
Aparna
Balamurali's
character
Bommi
is
a
headstrong,
independent
woman
who
falls
in
love
with
Maaran,
the
character
played
by
Suriya.
Interestingly,
the
actress
has
learned
authentic
Madurai
slang
for
her
character
in
the
movie.
Reportedly,
Aparna
Balamurali
underwent
several
workshops
to
get
into
the
skin
of
her
character
Bommi.
She
learned
the
Madurai
slang
with
the
help
of
a
language
coach.
Unlike
most
of
the
leading
ladies
of
the
contemporary
Tamil
cinema,
the
actress
has
dubbed
on
her
own
voice
for
her
character
in

who
is
a

in

with
the

Kumar

Soorarai
Pottru,
which
marks
Suriya's
first

Suttru
fame
director

to
be
an

is
appearing
in
the
role
of

Rajangam
aka

an
ambitious
young
man
in
