Actor Suriya on Thursday issued a statement announcing the delay in the release of his upcoming film Soorarai Pottru. He stated that the makers of the movie are yet to obtain a No Objection Certificate from the Indian Air Force for the film, which has caused the delay.
Suriya explained that they had to deal with a number of procedures and permissions.
“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 Airforce 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!” he wrote.
Expressing his disappointment with the new set of challenges, the actor wrote: “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.”
