Two of India’s leading content creators and producers, 2D Entertainment and Abundantia Entertainment, have joined hands to remake the critically-acclaimed Tamil film Soorarai Pottru (Praise The Brave) in Hindi. The film showcases an emotional and impactful story based on the life of Nedumaaran Rajangam or Maara, played by Suriya, who sets out to ensure that the common man, too, can fly, and in the process, takes on the world’s most capital-intensive industry.

The film was partly inspired by events in the life of Air Deccan founder, Captain G R Gopinath. It made history by being the only Indian film to be ranked third on IMDb’s highest-rated films list. While the casting is underway, the director of the original, Sudha Kongara, will helm the Hindi remake as well.

Abundantia Entertainment, led by Vikram Malhotra, constantly endeavours to be audience-focused in its approach to tell inspiring stories. Their films, much like the recently released Vidya Balan-starrer Sherni, Shakuntala Devi, Airlift and Toilet - Ek Prem Katha, have always made an impact. 2D Entertainment, led by Suriya, actor Jyotika Sadanah and Rajsekar Pandian, believes in harnessing the power of great stories to touch people’s lives, besides entertaining them. Their diverse range of films such as Ponmagal Vandhal, 24 and Soorarai Pottru echo this sentiment.
