About Sarfira

In Sarfira, Akshay’s character faces numerous financial and personal hurdles in his quest to revolutionise air travel. His journey brings him face-to-face with a powerful business tycoon, played by Paresh Rawal, who owns the largest airline in the country. After enduring rejection and insults, Akshay's character resolves to make his dream a reality on his own terms, even contemplating selling flight tickets for just Rs 1 to ensure affordability for all. 

This role was originally portrayed by Suriya in the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, who also won National Award for the film.

Sarfira is not just about reaching for the skies; it's about breaking barriers, defying all odds, and believing in yourself when the world calls you crazy. This film, this role, is an opportunity of a lifetime for me, and I hope it inspires everyone who watches it to never give up on their dreams."

Suriya, who has also produced the film said, "Sarfira is proof of the unfailing human spirit, which always triumphs in the end. I genuinely believe Sudha’s story will connect with the audience across the world, as it is a common man’s tale that will inspire us to follow our dreams. I’m glad that Jyotika and I could collaborate with Vikram and Akshay Sir and actors and technicians from the South and Hindi film industries. Sarfira will definitely warm your hearts." 

Produced by Aruna Bhatia of Cape of Good Films, Suriya and Jyotika (2D Entertainment), and Vikram Malhotra (Abundantia Entertainment), Sarfira is set to land in cinemas on July 12.
