He captioned the post, "Happy Birthday, @sudha_kongara ! I hope your day is filled with as much laughter as we had during this #Sarfira ride while shooting :) Wishing you a year as great as your directing skills!

Sudha Kongara is the director of Sarfira. It is the first Hindi project of Suriya and Jyotika's 2D Entertainment, and it was formally announced in 2021. Unlike its Tamil counterpart Soorarai Pottru, which had to take the OTT route because of the COVID-19 outbreak, Sarfira is releasing in theatres on July 12. The Suriya-starrer Tamil film which released in 2020 won five National Film Awards, including best feature film and best actor.

Sarfira follows his character’s journey from debt-ridden beginnings to visionary entrepreneurship, navigating obstacles with resilience and innovation. The film is inspired by events from the life of GR Gopinath, founder of Indian low-cost airline Simplifly Deccan, as described in his memoir Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey.
