Soorarai Pottru chronicles the life of Air Deccan founder GR Gopinath and the aviation industry. The film was released directly on Amazon Prime Video on 12 November last year and was well-received by the audience and critics alike.
In an interview with Firstpost, Kongara had revealed why she chose to bring Captain Gopinath's life to screen, and how his tale of grit and passion struck a deep chord in her. "His life was an underdog’s race, and I was drawn to it. Also, I was tremendously inspired by this man who was flying the middle-class around for just Re 1,” said Kongara, who empathised with the Air Deccan founder for daring to try something different.
