Suriya starrer Soorarai Pottru to be remade; Ajay Devgn, John Abraham, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan in the run to play lead?

When Soorarai Pottru released last year, it became an instant hit. Inspired by a true story, the Suriya starrer was an inspirational story of one man's vision to make flights accessible to the common man. Now, a Hindi remake of the same is on the cards. The makers confirmed the same and also added that director Sudha Kongara, who also helmed the Tamil original would don the director's hat for the remake as well.

The casting of the film has not yet been finalised, but if sources are to be believed then Ajay Devgn, John Abraham, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan are in the run to play the lead. A report in ETimes mentions that these four A-listers are the top choices of makers for the central character of Maara.

Suriya said he is looking forward to the Hindi adaptation of Soorarai Pottru. "The love and appreciation that was showered on 'Soorarai Pottru' was unprecedented! From the minute I first heard this story I felt this has to be a pan India film, because the soul of it was such. It gives me immense pleasure to partner with Abundantia Entertainment, who have always made quality content, to tell the inspiring story of Captain Gopinath in Hindi," the actor-producer said in a statement.
