The teaser of Suriya starrer Soorarai Pottru is out now. Directed by Sudha Kongara of Irudhi Suttru fame, the film is being bankrolled by Suriya and Rajsekar Karpoorasundarapandian under their 2D Entertainment banner with Bollywood producer Guneet Monga and Aalif Surti co-producing it under their Sikhya Entertainment banner. Guneet is foraying into the Kollywood industry with the film.
Nedumaaran Rajangam (Suriya) is seen to struggle and face backlash, exhibiting a myriad of emotions, in his attempt to start-up an airline company with a meager amount of six-thousand rupees as the dialogue in the teaser goes. Although he’s found with a beard and military cut in most points of the teaser, we also find him scraggly haired and with a shaved stubble in some parts. GV Prakash‘s background score – ‘Maara Theme’ works just right, enhancing the mood of the teaser to a great extent.
The teaser of #sooraraipottru Will sport the #maaratheme … waiting for it to unveil Jan 🔥 …
