Producer Suriya took to Twitter to express his respect for Gopinath, saying, “This is our respect to @CaptGopinath sir, who inspired millions of Indians and thank you @akshaykumar sir for taking @Sudha_Kongara’s story across our country and beyond! Proudly presenting the trailer of #Sarfira.”
Gopinath himself chimed in on the social media buzz, tweeting, “I believe if one always looked up at the skies, you will end up growing wings.”What’s life without dreams to achieve the impossible? 2024“
Kumar has long been celebrated not just for his versatility as an actor dabbing between comedy and drama effortlessly, but also for his commitment to using cinema as a vehicle for social change.
