Sudha Kongara’s words on receiving the National Award are as follows…
He was editing a Hindi film at the time of the National Award announcement. All the crew members were with him and there was a buzz of watching a cricket match. When the award for the best music director was announced, GV Prakash thought that he did not get it, then the award for the best background music was announced to GV. GV did not even know that he had received the award. That was our first award. It was a great joy. Ayyappan and Koshi was his favorite movie. I was very happy to know that Ayyappan and Koshik had won the award. Sudha Kongara says that the film which was slated for theatrical release could not be delivered to the theaters due to covid. Even though the film which was OTT release in 2020 was very late, Sudha Kongara says that she is very happy to have received such a big recognition.
After the announcement of the award, he received many phone calls and the most unforgettable and precious one was when he called his guru Mani Ratnam and told him that he was very proud. He was expecting two National Awards for ‘Soorarai Potter’ but 5 awards gave him double happiness. I never expected an award when I started the film. Sudha said that she only wanted to be able to deliver the film well to the audience.
He was sure that Suriya’s acting and GV Prakash’s music would get the award. Even today when he hears the song ‘Kaiile Akasham’ his eyes fill with such a feeling of GV’s songs. Sudha said that Surya’s acting is beyond description. Aparna’s acting was also very beautiful and Urvashi is sad that she did not get the award. Even though it was an OTT release, it got the award it deserved. Sudha also remembers the late actor Poomaran and he has given his five thousand percent to this film and all the doubts about the character are fueled by him embracing the character and then he will act. Sudha Kongara says that his demise is a big loss for the film industry itself.
Akshay Kumar is playing the role of Surya in the upcoming Hindi remake of ‘Soorarai Potter’. The film also features Suriya in a cameo appearance. The picture shared by Suriya at the shooting location with Akshay Kumar went viral on social media.
