The news regarding Soorarai Pottru’s online release was initially shared by musician GV Prakash Kumar on his Facebook page. The news soon went like wildfire on social media platforms, and people are now slamming the makers for making such a decision.

It should be noted that Soorarai Pottru is widely considered Suriya’s comeback movie by his fans. The actor has been now going through the toughest phase in his career, as most of his recent films failed to make any impacts at the box-office. Suriya fans were in a hope that the actor will reclaim his stardom by setting the theaters on fire with Soorarai Pottru.

Suriya fans argue that films like Soorarai Pottru demands theatrical watch, and it will be sheer injustice if the makers release it via OTT platforms. Recently, during an online interaction with fans, Suriya himself had claimed that he is eagerly awaiting to watch the movie on big screens.

Soorarai Pottri is directed by Sudha Kongara. The film is based on the life of GR Gopinath, Air Deccan founder. Apart from Suriya, this movie also stars Aparna Balamurali, Mohan Babu, Paresh Rawal, Urvashi, Jackie Shroff, and Sampath Raj in other prominent roles.

The film is jointly produced by Suriya and Guneet Monga under the banners 2D Entertainment and Sikhya Entertainment respectively.

The undeniable truth that music is the universal language is once again proved by the ever popular music group Black Eyed Peas.

Black Eyed Peas’ new music video, for their song “Action”, is dedicated to over-the-top action scenes in Indian movies. The lead member of the band, William Adams, better known as will.i.am, shared the music video on Twitter.

He wrote, “Check out our video for #ACTION inspired by #BOLLYWOOD…ive always loved music from india…#Elephunk and #MonkeyBusiness were inspired by Indian Culture…thank you india for your vibrancy and contribution to the world…”

In the description of the music video, Black Eyed Peas shares that they have been “inspired by Indian culture from the beginning of our career.” They add that artistes like Asha Bhosle and AR Rahman have been influential in their songs “on more than one occasion.”

The action scenes are similar to the original, except for the faces of the actors, upon which Black Eyed Peas members Will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo have superimposed their own faces through deep fake technology.

Scenes from the Swedish movie ‘Kopps’ and ‘Maryada Ramanna’ also appear in Action’s music video.

Music Maestro AR Rahman applauded the music video and quote-tweeted will.i.am’s tweet, “The borders are blurring through art! #tamilcinema @directorshankar #rajnikant #india.”

The music video is incredibly funny and entertaining. It features scenes from films like Rajanikanth’s ‘Enthiran’, Vishal’s ‘Aambala’, Ajay Devgn’s ‘Singham’, among others.

Earlier Will.i.am collaborated with A. R Rahman for the former’s single ‘Birthday’. The song had similarities with A.R Rahman’s popular 90’s track ‘Urvashi, Urvashi”.
