Soorarai Pottru's hindi remake to star Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan in key roles

Suriya's blockbuster film Soorarai Pottru is being remade in Hindi. Akshay Kumar will co-star in the film with Radhika Madan, and the actor made an announcement on social media.

Akshay Kumar took to his twitter handle and wrote, "With the auspicious coconut-breaking and a small prayer in our heart, we begin the filming of our yet untitled film which is about dreams and the power of it  In case you’ll have any title suggestions, do share and of course your best wishes."

In addition to the announcement, Akshay shared a video of Radhika breaking the coconut as filming for the endeavour commences. Radhika can be seen donning a red saree while flaunting her traditional look as she begins the shoot with the auspicious event. 

Suriya also announced his collaboration with Akshay on social media. The south star tweeted photos of himself with Akshay and wrote, "A new begining… need all your love and blessings!! @akshaykumar @Sudha_Kongara @gvprakash @CaptGopinath @CapeOfGoodFilm @Abundantia_Ent @2D_ENTPVTLTD." 

In addition to making the announcement, Akshay asked fans to come up with a suitable title for the Hindi remake. Sudha Kongara will direct the Hindi remake.

It's no surprise that Akshay, who already has a full slate of films lined up for the next two years, has taken on more work and announced a new project. He was last seen in the film Bachchhan Paandey. The film didn't do good at the box office and, hence, fans are waiting for his upcoming projects. Among his films are Selfiee, Ram Setu, Raksah Bandhan, OMG 2 –Oh My God!, and Prithviraj.
