Suriya's
much-awaited
film
Soorarai
Pottru,
directed
by
Sudha
Kongara
was
scheduled
to
be
released
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
on
October
30,
2020.
Ever
since
Suriya
announced
the
release
date
of
the
highly-anticipated
film,
fans
were
damn
excited
to
watch
it
on
OTT
platform.
However,
the
Singam
actor
recently
shocked
his
fans
by
announcing
that
Soorarai
Pottru
will
not
release
on
October
30.
Well,
after
the
announcement,
fans
raised
many
questions
on
social
media
and
asked
the
makers
as
well
as
Suriya
about
the
film's
postponement.
Amidst
all
the
chaos
on
social
media,
Suriya
finally
opened
up
about
the
decision
about
Soorarai
Pottru's
release
and
revealed
the
real
reason
behind
it.
Suriya
shared
a
note
on
Twitter,
in
which
he
revealed
that
the
film
has
been
postponed.
In
the
note,
he
stated
that
some
procedures
and
permissions
are
needed
to
be
taken
from
national
security.
Moreover,
several
NOCs
are
still
pending
for
approval.
Suriya's
official
statement
reads,
"Dear
well
wishers,
my
fellow
brothers
&
sisters,
It's
not
everyday
I
choose
to
share
my
thoughts
with
you
in
a
letter.
But
in
these
unprecedented
times,
a
situation
has
arisen
where
I
stand
before
you
with
an
open
heart
and
a
transplant
mind.
Because
you
have
stood
by
me
all
the
way
to
where
I
am
now,
and
you
deserve
nothing
but
love,
appreciation
and
truth."
"When
we
started
'Soorarai
Pottru'
we
thought
the
only
challenges
we
would
face
will
be
shooting
at
never-before-shot-locations,
working
with
people
of
different
languages
and
bringing
in
personnel
with
different
skill
sets
to
bring
alive
the
magnificent
world
of
Maara.
Though
easily
said,
it
was
a
mammoth
task
to
execute," he
added.
While
revealing
the
reason,
Suriya
said,
"As
you
all
know
SP
is
a
story
set
in
aviation
industry.
So
we
had
to
deal
with
numerous
procedures
and
permissions,
because
it's
a
matter
of
national
security
and
we
were
dealing
with
real
Indian
Air
Force
aircrafts
and
security.
A
few
new
NOCs
are
still
pending
for
approval,
and
we
understand
the
wait
is
inevitable
as
this
adverse
time
is
demanding
more
and
more
focus
on
the
nation
and
its
priorities,
than
anything
else!"
Suriya
got
emotional
while
addressing
his
fans
in
the
letter.
He
said
that
the
film
is
very
close
to
his
heart,
but
unfortunately,
fans
will
have
to
wait
a
little
longer
than
anticipated.
It
is
quite
a
painful
situation
for
Suriya
as
well
as
his
fans
to
wait.
"While
we
get
ready,
I
leave
you
here
with
this
short
peek
into
Maara's
world.
We
will
be
back
with
the
trailer
and
lots
more
soon!!
This
letter
comes
with
a
beautiful
'Friendship
song'
which
is
dedicated
to
our
friendship,
love
and
affection.
Love
and
gratitude," Suriya
concluded.
Soorarai
Pottru
also
stars
Aparna
Balamurali,
Mohan
Babu,
Paresh
Rawal,
Karunas,
Urvashi
and
others
in
the
pivotal
roles.
For
the
unversed,
the
film
is
inspired
by
the
life
of
Captain
GR
Gopinath,
a
retired
Army
captain,
who
founded
the
low-cost
airline
Air
Deccan.
