The much-anticipated trailer for “Sarfira,” featuring Bollywood stalwarts Akshay Kumar, Radhika Madan, and Paresh Rawal, has been released to the public, creating a significant buzz within the industry.
In a riveting social media moment, Akshay Kumar took to his Instagram handle on Tuesday to share the trailer of “Sarfira” with his millions of followers. The trailer opens with a heart-wrenching scene where Akshay’s character, a man burdened by debt, solemnly declares that his first priority upon securing any financial resources will be to clear his loans. This emotional declaration sets the tone for the character’s journey throughout the film. However, this is not merely a tale of financial struggle. Akshay’s character is also deeply passionate about a startup idea he believes will revolutionize the aviation industry.
As the trailer progresses, we see Akshay’s character venture into the bustling city to pitch his groundbreaking concept—a low-cost airline aimed at making air travel accessible to the common man. His pitch is directed at Paresh Rawal’s character, an influential airline tycoon. The meeting, however, does not go as planned. The tycoon dismisses Akshay’s proposal, suggesting that he should return to his village and take up farming instead. This rejection, however, only fuels Akshay’s resolve. He passionately vows to challenge both cost and caste barriers, ensuring that flying becomes a privilege not just for the elite but for all sections of society. The trailer poignantly captures his relentless determination to defy the odds and fulfill the aspirations of ordinary people.
Adding to the excitement surrounding the film, “Sarfira” is scheduled to hit theaters on July 12, 2024. The film promises to be more than just a compelling narrative; it also features a powerhouse performance by Seema Biswas in a crucial role, further elevating the movie’s star quotient.

Discussing the essence and vision behind the film, director Sudha Kongara shared her enthusiasm: “With ‘Sarfira,’ we have aimed to craft a musical marvel that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact on the viewers’ hearts. The soundtrack is diverse and will connect with fans across segments.” Known for her directorial prowess in films like “Irudhi Suttru,” “Saala Khadoos,” and “Soorarai Pottru,” upon which “Sarfira” is based, Kongara’s experience and vision are anticipated to bring a unique depth to this project.
The screenplay of “Sarfira” is a collaborative effort between Sudha Kongara and Shalini Ushadevi, with dialogues crafted by Pooja Tolani. The film’s musical landscape, which promises to be an auditory treat, is scored by the renowned composer G.V. Prakash Kumar. The creative powerhouse behind “Sarfira” also includes producers Aruna Bhatia of Cape of Good Films, South Indian cinema icons Suriya and Jyotika through their 2D Entertainment banner, and Vikram Malhotra.
Adding an extra layer of excitement, it has been revealed that the South superstar Suriya, who played the lead role in the original “Soorarai Pottru,” will make a special guest appearance in “Sarfira.” This nod to the original film could serve as a delightful treat for both new audiences and fans of the original work alike.
The storyline of “Sarfira” not only aims to highlight socio-economic issues but also seeks to inspire audiences with its focus on perseverance and the pursuit of dreams against all odds. The musical elements, combined with a stellar cast and a gripping narrative, promise to make this film a remarkable addition to contemporary Indian cinema.
As the release date draws closer, anticipation is mounting among fans and critics alike. The trailer has certainly set high expectations, with everyone eager to see Akshay Kumar and his co-stars bring this poignant and inspirational story to life on the big screen. Given the talent involved in the making of “Sarfira,” it stands poised to resonate deeply with viewers and possibly pave the way for further discussions about social equality and inclusivity in air travel.
