Sudha Kongara who shot to worldwide fame with her Tamil blockbuster Soorarai Puttu based on the life of G R Gopinath, the aviation pilot who dreamt of making air travel affordable to the common man, says the Hindi version of the bio-pic with Akshay Kumar in the lead, is in early stages of planning,
Speaking exclusively to this writer Kongara (whose earlier directorial credits include that very fine pugilist film Sala Khadoos with Madhavan) said, “It is all discussion stage only.Only the producers are on board officially. I need to start writing the Hindi version.”
Did Sudha ever imagine such a global impact for Soorarai Puttu? “It’s all in God’s hands. I remember when it want to the OTT platform I wasn’t very happy. I wondered why it should go there. Then I saw the love it got and its massive reach, and I decided to shut up and let HIM do the rest.”
In the meanwhile Guneet Mongia one of the producers of Soorarai Puttu has apparently obtained a stay order from Madras High Court against Suriya for selling the Hind rights to Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Films without her consent.
This could delay the Hindi version of Soorarai Puttu.
