A year and two months since Soorarai Pottru became the first big Tamil movie to opt for a direct digital release, the film has made its way into the theaters of Tamil Nadu. 'Soorarai Pottru re-release' is how the event is being celebrated by fans as they finally get to see Suriya as Nedumaaran Rajangam aka Maara on the big screens.

However, theater circles seem to be opposing the release of this Suriya production, as the actor's decision to opt for OTT platforms during the pandemic had left a strain in his relationship with exhibitors and distributors.
Soorarai Pottru is currently running in select theaters across Tamil Nadu.
