The actor also asked for suggestions for a title with blessings of course. The film is produced by Suriya along with Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment.
The film is directed Sudha Kongara who directed the original as well. Soorarai Pottru was inspired partly from events from the life of GR Gopinath who was the founder of Air Deccan. These events were taken from his memoir Simply Fly : A Deccan Odyssey. The film received immense critical acclaim.
