"Our happiness is doubled at this National recognition for Soorarai Pottru as it is a testimony of Sudha Kongara's many years of hard work & creative vision of Captain Gopinath's story", the actor wrote.

Actor Suriya has won the National Award for the first time in his decades-long cinematic career, which has marked a stupendous breakthrough in his already-celebrating career. 

'Soorarai Pottru' has set a glorious milestone by bagging more awards in the National Film Awards that were announced on Friday- July 22. 

Dhanush had added another feather to his cap as he has won the national award for the Best Actor in 2019 for Asuran and the movie has been conferred with the National Award for the Best Tamil film.
