Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited film Sarfira is all set to make its OTT debut on Disney+ Hotstar on October 11. The streaming platform made the official announcement on Thursday, creating a buzz among fans who missed the theatrical release earlier this year.
Sarfira is the Hindi adaptation of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, which was directed by Sudha Kongara and featured the popular Tamil actor Suriya in the lead role. Like its Tamil counterpart, Sarfira promises to capture hearts with a compelling storyline, powerful performances, and high-octane drama.
The Hindi version is also helmed by Sudha Kongara, ensuring that the essence of the original film remains intact. Released in theatres in July, the film stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role, reprising Suriya’s character from the original, alongside seasoned actors Paresh Rawal and Radhikka Madan, who deliver impactful performances in pivotal roles.
With its gripping narrative, Sarfira has been well-received by audiences and critics alike. The film’s OTT release on Disney+ Hotstar is expected to reach a wider audience, making it more accessible for fans of Akshay Kumar who may have missed its theatrical run.
Soorarai Pottru, the original film, was inspired by the real-life story of Captain G.R. Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan, who revolutionized air travel in India by making it affordable for the common man. The Hindi adaptation Sarfira also follows a similar storyline, depicting the struggles and triumphs of a man with a dream to bring affordable air travel to the masses.
Mark your calendars for October 11 to watch Sarfira on Disney+ Hotstar and experience an inspiring tale of dreams, resilience, and determination.
