In his letter, he wrote, “Since we have worked together for several years, I would like to put forth my thoughts. As a fan, I would love to see your film in theatres and not on OTT. We have received overwhelming responses from fans for our films in theatres. It’s their appreciation that has catapulted us to this position. We should not forget them.”

He further added that the film gets respect only when it releases to the theatres. “Cinema is our god. God can be everywhere. But, it gets respect only when it makes it to the theatres. That’s where the filmmakers and their creativity get utmost recognition. I am someone who understands the problems producers face. I would ask you to reconsider your decision. Your name and fame will live as long as cinema lives,” director Hari said. 

Directed by Sudha Kongara, Soorarai Pottru is releasing on October 30th and is based on real events and struggles of Air Deccan founder G. R. Gopinath.
