G. R. Gopinath, a retired army captain who started the low-cost airline Air Deccan, is the subject of the dramatized biography Soorarai Pottru. Despite having a straight OTT release, the movie was a tremendous hit because of the enthusiastic feedback that fans posted on Twitter. Not once, but twice, Suriya was able to capture the interest of audiences and media throughout the world. Despite the language barrier and lack of comprehension, films like Jai Bhim and Soorarai Pottru were so successful with international audiences that the Oscars recognized them. Suriya is also the only south actor to be invited to join the Oscars committee. He is among the 397 artists and executives to have received an invitation to join members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
