Akshay Kumar plays the lead role in the film directed by Sudha, who had also helmed the Tamil original, Soorarai Pottru, which featured Suriya. Akshay’s character in Sarfira overcomes financial and other obstacles to secure a meeting with a business tycoon, played by Paresh Rawal, who owns the largest airline in the country.
After facing his disapproval and insults, Akshay decides he will do everything he can on his own to make his dream a reality, and even thinks of rolling out flight tickets worth just ₹1 as he attempts to make air travel affordable for all.
Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Akshay wrote, “Sapne woh nahi jo aap sote huye dekhte hain, sapne woh hote hain jo aapko sone hi nahi dete. Ek aise hi sapne ki kahani hai Sarfira (Dreams are not what come to you in your sleep; they are the reason you cannot sleep).”
