Madhavan and Suriya recently collaborated on the Tamil version of Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. The actor had a cameo in Maddy’s movie, playing the role of a journalist in the movie. Shah Rukh Khan played the Hindi counterpart. Speaking about Suriya and Shah Rukh agreeing for the film, Madhavan told News18 Showsha, “If you ask me, ‘Are there good people in the industry?’ I can tell you with absolute surety that there are. Shah Rukh and Suriya both superstars jumped forward and did this movie without taking any money. I’m eternally indebted to them for the gesture that they showed to somebody like me because I’m a newcomer and I’m always going to be considered an outsider because of the kind of films I do and the parties that I don’t attend but that’s okay.”
As for Soorarai Pottru, the film has bagged five awards at the 68th National Awards. These include Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Actress (Aparrna Balamurali), Best Original Screenplay and Best Background Music (GV Prakash).
Meanwhile, Tanhaji bagged three big ones as well. Besides the Best Actor for Devgn, the film also won Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and Best Costume Design awards.
