The two-minute-long trailer features Nedumaaran, whose dream is to launch a low-cost airline in his country. He aspires even the farmers to be able to travel by flight. However, his dreams are faced with challenges when men in power oppose him as he struggles to find money to fund his ambitions.
Calling Soorarai Pottru a film close to his heart, Suriya said in a statement, “With this film, we want to bring out the message that nothing in this world can stop you from chasing your dreams if you are true to yourself and dedicated to the task.”

You all have been very patient and super supportive while we were getting ready to take off.”

Soorarai Pottru, which was slated to release on October 30, was postponed due to a delay in obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Indian Airforce. On Friday, the director and co-producer of 2D Entertainment Rajsekar Pandian confirmed that the film has secured the necessary clearance for release.
Suriya, who had confirmed the delay, in a statement, wrote that the postponement was inevitable as the film uses aircraft belonging to the Indian Airforce and that it is a matter of national security. Along with his statement, he had released Aagasam Song, jointly composed by GV Prakash and Thaikkudam Bridge.
