National Award-winning filmmaker Sudha Kongara is celebrating her birthday today (July 5) and wishes have been pouring in from all quarters. In that light, composer-turned-actor G. V. Prakash Kumar conveyed his birthday wishes to the hit director on social media saying he is waiting for the world to witness her work in the Hindi remake of their smash hit Tamil film, Soorarai Pottru, starring Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead role. GV Prakash also shared his excitement for Sudha Kongara's next film in Tamil after the release of the Soorarai Pottru Hindi remake, which is scheduled to fly into theatres on September 1.
Taking to Twitter, GV Prakash wrote, "Happy birthday dear @Sudha_Kongara …. Waiting for the world to witness the magic u have done with #SooraraiPottru Hindi version which is going to stun Bollywood … and ur next after that in tamil which is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (sic)". Although GV Prakash hasn't shared too many details about Sudha Kongara's next, the filmmaker back in 2022 at the Suyasakthi Virudhugal Awards revealed that she has already signed a film with Suriya, with fans now waiting for the big announcement on the tentatively titled Suriya 43. Loosely based on the life of Captain G. R. Gopinath, founder of the low-cost Indian airline Simplifly Deccan, Soorarai Pottru skipped a theatrical release premiering directly on the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform during the Covid-19 pandemic. The film went on to become a sensational success for the global streaming giant in 2020 and won five awards at the 68th National Film Awards among which included Best Feature Film, Best Actor (Suriya), Best Actress (Aparna Balamurali), Best Screenplay (Sudha Kongara and Shalini Usha Nair), and Best Background Score (G. V. Prakash Kumar).

With the Tamil version turning out to be a stellar hit, the Soorarai Pottru Hindi remake under Sudha Kongara's direction starring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan in the lead roles is being produced by Arun Bhatia and Vikram Malhotra's Abundantia Entertainment banner in association with Suriya and Jyotika's 2D Entertainment. Featuring a cameo appearance by Suriya, the upcoming Soorarai Pottru Hindi remake's title is yet to be announced and will have music composed by GV Prakash, who back in May revealed that popular Hindi singer Mika Singh had recorded a song to the lyrics penned by Manoj Muntashir Shukla.
