 Starring Suriya in the lead role, the film essays the story of an ex-Army officer who aspires to establish a low-cost airline.

Soorarai Pottru is inspired by a true story. It is based on the story of Air Deccan’s founder GR Gopinath. While the lead actor Suriya had suffered few previous setbacks with his recent films, the pandemic added to it by deferring the theatrical release of Aakasham Nee Haddhu Ra. The film had a direct OTT release on Amazon Prime with a dubbed version releasing in Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, under the same title Aakasam Nee Haddhu Raa.
