Soorarai Pottru remake
Soorarai Pottru, featuring Suriya in the lead role, was directed by Sudha Kongara and composed by GV Prakash and was a huge hit in Tamil. Although it was an OTT release film, the response to the movie was beyond expectation. Given the success it has achieved, Akshay Kumar wants to come up with a Hindi version unleashing it on the Big Screens.
Akshay Kumar will play the character of Surya, and Radhika Madan is playing the character of Aparna Balamurali.
Sharing the news on social media, Akshay announced the release date of the official Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru. “And now the team has announced the film’s release date. But it’s still untitled. As of now, they’re calling it ‘Production No 27’. It is set to release on September 1. Akshay shared the release date and wrote, “We are ready for take-off! Production No. 27 (Untitled) releases in theatres worldwide on 1st September 2023,” he captioned the post.

Why Akshay is playing safe. It’s time to do some larger than life movie. Even Hera pheri 3 will be directed by Farhad Samji so no hope there too. So Akshay is destroying himself. He needs something like Sooryavanshi.
