Among the young crop of Tamil heroes, Suriya will be first mass heroe to have a Pan Indian release of his film Etharkkum Thunindhavan directed by Pandiraj. The reason for the move to ave All India release is said to be the demand from Bollywood trade that the film be promoted as a straight Hindi film. Bollywood trade feels tat Jai Bhim has given Suriya a wide reach iamong North Indian audience. The film has given the actor a far reach to the Hindi hinterland. Audiences in the B- C tier cities and villages that had access to OTT have watched it and liked his performance and the film.
Producers Sun Pictures have planned a Feb 4 release. Surprisingly the film Soorarai Pottru in which Suriya played the role of Capt. Gopinath did not take him beyond the metros. It was Jai Bhim that has taken the actor to the common man in Hindi belt. Sun Pictures does have the resource to promote the film . Pandiraj two previous outings ( Kadaikutty Singam) were blockbusters. The rural subject would appeal to Hindi audience, feels trade
The coming line up of films by Suriya are with directors Vetrimaaran, Bala, Sudha Kongara, Siva ( Annaatthe fame)), and Lokesh Kanakraj ( revive early project Irumbukai Maayavi) . Suriya is also producer of Soorarai Pottru in Hindi. Etharkkum Thunindhavan will be a theater release for Suriya after a long time. SP released last week in Thiruvanthapuram saw actors fans celebrate it in a big way.
