The trailer of ‘Sarfira’, starring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan, has been released. This film, a remake of Suriya’s Soorarai Pottru, is based on the life of G. R. Gopinath, founder of the low-cost airline Simplifly Deccan.
The film follows a common man's journey as he starts a low-cost aviation company, highlighting his determination against financial and societal barriers. In the trailer, Akshay Kumar says, ‘I want to break not just the cost barrier, but the caste barrier for the common man.’
The trailer release was announced with a new poster featuring Akshay Kumar on a motorcycle.
A few days ago, a leaked video showed Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan filming a dance sequence on a terrace with two others. Akshay Kumar's film is set to release on July 12. Last week, the first poster was unveiled by Taran Adarsh on Instagram.
His caption read, ‘AKSHAY KUMAR: ‘SARFIRA’ FIRST POSTER UNVEILS… 12 JULY RELEASE… #Sarfira marks #AkshayKumar and director #SudhaKongara’s first collaboration and releases in cinemas on 12 July 2024. #Sarfira also features #PareshRawal, #RadhikaMadan, and #SeemaBiswas.
