Earlier today, we have reported that Suriya starrer Soorarai pottru might be postponed as the team is yet to get NOC from Indian Airforce department. Confirming the report the actor had shared a press release stating why the film has been now postponed.

Here is the official statement from Suriya!

Dear well wishers, my fellow brothers & sisters.

Its not everyday I choose to share my thoughts with you in a letter. But in these unprecedented times, a situation has arisen where I stand before you with an open heart and a transparent mind. Because you have stood by me all the way to where I am now and you deserve nothing but love, appreciation and truth.

When we started 'Soorarai Pottru' we thought the only challenges we would face will be shooting at never-before-shot-locations, working with people of different languages and bringing in personnel with different skill sets to bring alive the magnificent world of Maara. Though easily said, it was a mammoth task to execute.

As you all know SP is a story set in aviation industry So we had to deal with numerous procedures and permissions, because it's a matter of national security and we were dealing with real Indian Airforce aircrafts and security. A few new NOCs are still pending for approval . and we understand the wait is inevitable as this adverse time is demanding more and more focus on the nation and its priorities. than anything else!

Sorrarai Pottru is a film very close to our hearts and we feel very passionately for this compelling and inspiring story_ Unfortunately. the wait for the film's release will now be a little longer than anticipated.

However what pains me is how eagerly my well-wishers were waiting for this but we seem to have no other option. I personally hope that my well wishers will take this in good spirit, with love and faith .

While we get ready, I leave you here with this short peek into Maara's world. We will be back with the trailer and lots more soon!! This letter comes with a beautiful 'Friendship song' which is dedicated to our friendship love, and affection.

- Suriya.
