Last week, Captain Gopinath took to twitter to congratulate Sudha Kongara, Suriya and the entire team for making the film.

Even though he called the film ‘heavily fictionalized’, he raved it for outstandingly capturing the essence of his story and struggle.
“Soorarai Pottru. Heavily fictionalized but outstanding in capturing the true essence of the story of my book. A real roller coaster. Yes, watched it last night. Couldn’t help laughing and crying on many family scenes that brought memories,” Gopinath wrote.
Soorarai Pottru, which marked Suriya’s maiden collaboration with a female director, also features Aparna Balamurali, Paresh Rawal and veteran Telugu actor Mohan Babu in crucial roles.
