Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar teamed up with director Sudha Kongara for the first time for a biographical drama film Sarfira, the remake of Kongara’s Soorarai Pottru. The movie was released in July of this year but became a box-office disaster.
Despite the positive reviews, Sarfira grossed approximately 34 crores at the worldwide box office in its lifetime run. The makers are now hoping for a turnaround as they have announced the streaming release of the movie.
On Thursday (September 26), Akshay Kumar took to social media and announced that Sarfira would start streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar on October 11 this year, 90 days after the theatrical release. It is one of the longest theatrical windows for an Indian title in recent times.
Apne sapnon ko poora karne ke liye, #Sarfira hona padta hai!

Produced by Abundantia Entertainment, 2D Entertainment, and Cape Of Good Films, Sarfira follows a man who sets out to make affordable airlines for low-income people, which several enemies try to impede. It also stars Paresh Rawal, Radhika Madan, and Seema Biswas in key roles.
