Director Sudha Kongara's Soorarai Pottru starring Suriya turned out to be a blockbuster when it came at the last quarter of 2020. The movie was directly released on an OTT platform and became the first Tamil movie that was launched straight on OTT. The movie co-starred Aparna Balamurali and had music scored by GV Prakash. The movie is loosely based on the biography of Capt Gopinath, founder of the low-cost airline, Air Deccan in India.
It was earlier reported that the Suriya film would be screened at the 2021 Golden Globes Awards for the Best Foreign Film category. The latest update is that the movie has now entered the race for the Oscars under the General Category for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Original Score and few other categories.
The amazing news was shared by the production house on twitter!
Due to the Pandemic, the organizers of the Academy Awards have made several changes in the Oscar rules this year. The changes now have included movies released on OTT to participate in the awards. Soorarai Pottru is made available at the Academy Screening Room from today to be viewed by the academy members for votes and nomination.
We wish the team best of luck and hope to see another Oscar to be won for a Tamil movie!
