Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has always been known for his powerful performances and his latest movie, Sarfira, is no exception. The film, directed by Sudha Kongara, is a Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Soorarai Pottru, which is based on the inspiring life of Captain GR Gopinath, the founder of India's first low-cost airline, Air Deccan.
Sarfira hit the big screens on July 12 and has recently been released on an OTT platform. The film tells the real story of Captain Gopinath, played by Akshay Kumar, who left a lasting impact on the Indian aviation industry.
Gopinath's journey from a humble background to the Indian Army and eventually, to becoming a successful entrepreneur and the founder of Air Deccan, is truly inspiring. The film showcases his struggles, determination, and ultimate success in making air travel accessible to the common man.
Before founding Air Deccan, Gopinath served as a captain in the Indian Army and even fought in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. After his retirement, he dabbled in various businesses, including farming and motorbike dealerships, but it was his vision to provide affordable air travel that made him a pioneer in the industry.
With the launch of Air Deccan in 2003, Gopinath's dream became a reality. The airline's affordable fares revolutionized the Indian aviation sector, leading to a significant increase in the number of people traveling by air. His efforts also inspired other low-cost airlines to enter the market, making air travel more accessible for everyone.
Sarfira, which also stars Radhika Madan, Paresh Rawal, Seema Biswas, R Sarathkumar, and others, has received rave reviews for its inspiring story and Akshay Kumar's exceptional performance. The film is a fitting tribute to Captain Gopinath's remarkable journey and his contribution to the Indian aviation industry.
Interestingly, Suriya, who produced the original Tamil film along with his wife Jyothika, has a special cameo in Sarfira. The clash between Sarfira and John Abraham's Vedaa at the box office only adds to the excitement surrounding the film's release.
Sarfira is not just a movie, but a celebration of Captain Gopinath's extraordinary life and his vision to make air travel accessible to all. It is a must-watch for anyone looking for an inspiring and heartwarming story.
