“Actor and filmmaker Suriya recently filmed the Hindi remake of his critically acclaimed film ‘Soorarai Pottru.’ He will have a cameo in the film, which is being helmed by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar. The Hindi remake is directed by Sudha Kongara, who also directed the Tamil original. The film is inspired by the life and times of GR Gopinath who revolutionized the Indian aviation sector by making flights affordable for working class people.
Soorarai Pottru was released straight to Amazon Prime Video due to the 2020 pandemic. The film received positive reviews from both critics and audiences. However, the Hindi remake will be a theatrical release. ”
“Sai Pallavi is also busy promoting her upcoming film ‘Virata Parvam’ which is slated to hit theaters on June 17th. She has played the role of a woman who falls in love with a Naxal leader, played by Rana Daggubati. The film is said to be inspired by real events.
During a media interview, Pallavi was asked if she was influenced by the left movement in her private life. She made it clear that she was not taking sides. However, she made no secret of her objection to the use of violence in the name of any religion. Virata Parvam was written and directed by Venu Udugula. ”
“The creators of Vishnu G Raghav director Vaashi, starring Keerthy Suresh and Tovino Thomas, recently released a trailer for the film. Judging by the trailer, Vaashi, which means unyielding, revolves around the professional rivalry between two young lawyers, played by Keerthy and Tovino. At the beginning of the trailer we see that the young lawyers really like each other. However, the duo are pulled apart after they become involved in a case. The trailer doesn’t reveal any details about the case, but it appears to be taking a heavy personal toll on the lawyers.
Vaashi marks Keerthy Suresh’s return to Malayalam cinema in a full-fledged role after an eight-year hiatus.
