South star Suriya has tested negative for COVID-19, almost two weeks after he was diagnosed with the disease, his close associate filmmaker Rajsekar Pandian said on Friday.
South actor Suriya who has been earning praises for his performance in the film 'Soorarai Pottru' has been infected with COVID-19. The sad news was shared by the actor himself on his personal Twitter handle. Soon after the tweet, the fans got worried and started showing concern on social media. The comments section was filled with prayers for him.
Tamil superstar Suriya has been in the industry for more than two decades but feels that he needs to push himself more. In fact, it is not easy for him to watch his own films again and again.
After witnessing unmatched successafter its release on Amazon Prime Video on 12 November, 2020, Suriya's Soorarai Pottru has added another star to its hat-- Soorarai Pottru has entered the Oscar 2021 race in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and many other categories.
Tamil superstar Suriya believes that films should give hope and inspiration, beyond entertainment. He is not against the concept of larger-than-life films, but he primarily looks for stories that inspire.
Soorari Pottru, starring Tamil superstar Suriya, has finally taken over the screen today and fans are mighty impressed with it. The film takes inspiration from a true story. It is a fictionalized account of the life of retired Army Captain GR Gopinath, who founded the low-cost airline, Air Deccan.
All of my earlier characters are reel. But this character, is about a person who has lived his life, and is a very humble man. He is a real life hero, who had a dream to make it big, and he did," Suriya said.
Suriya Varathan has a compelling lead in the Senior class, having amassed 70 points in the first two rounds held last Saturday-Sunday.
The movie, directed by Sudha Kongara, was originally scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 30, but in a Twitter post on Thursday the actor shared the film has been pushed and a new release date will be announced soon.
"Essaying Captain Gopinath's character came to me as a challenge, but we are very proud of our final product. This film is our labour of love and I am happy that it will now entertain the global audience," said Suriya.
From special posters to digging out stills from the best films of Suriya, fans are leaving no stone unturned to make the day special for him. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the outdoor celebrations of the actor's birthday are restricted which is why his followers have taken over the internet.
Although there has been no official announcement to the effect, a source in the film trade said, about Suriya's decision to release the modest-budgeted "Pon Magal Vandhal" on OTT: "Given the scenario, the chance of a small-budget film succeeding when theatres reopen is tricky. If producers are taking a decision that keeps them financially safe, then releasing the film on a streaming platform would work."
Given the recent outbreak of COVID-19, theatres across Tamil Nadu have been closed, and shoot of films, television serials and advertisements are on hold as well. Rajinikanth, Suriya, and Vijay Sethupathi came out in support of daily wage workers.
Before NGK, Tamilrockers have released films like Kaala, Petta, 2.0, Maharshi, Thugs of Hindostan and others.
