Soorarai Pottru

Suriya was on a diet of cucumbers and egg whites for one whole month to reduce his weight for the young character role.

The film is publicized as a biopic of "Gopinath Iyengar" (founder of Indian airlines 'Air Deccan') who dreamed to offer air tickets at a cheap rate. But the lead character in the film is named as "Maaran", where the character is named after "Kalanithi Maaran", a corporate tycoon, who is a major stakeholder of another commercial Indian airline company "Spicejet".

The Indian censors gave the film a U (universal certificate, #DIL/1/29/2020-Che) after deleting several profane words. Also removed was the shot of a small boy holding liquor bottle. Some of the censored words were replaced with appropriate words.
