When Suriya made the announcement about Soorarai Pottru’s OTT release, he revealed that he would be donating a sum of Rs 5 crores from the revenue generated through the film. Suriya added that the relief fund will be donated to the frontline workers, corona warriors as well as film technicians and workers, who are in need.

A sum of Rs 1 crore given to FEFSI in which a cheque for Rs. 80 Lakhs was handed over to FEFSI President R.K. Selvamani and a cheque for Rs 20 Lakhs was handed over to R.V.
