The release of Namitha starrer ‘Jaganmohini’ has been postponed from September 25 to the first week of November thanks to unavoidable reasons, say reliable sources.

Produced by H Murali and directed by N K Viswanathan, the film is a remake of yesteryear hit of the same title directed by Vittalacharya. Graphic works and the musical score of Illayaraja are touted to be the highlights of the movie.

Namitha plays the role enacted by Jeyamalini in the original while the rest of the cast includes Nila and Tollywood actor Raja.

Says the director, “What started as a small venture has become a big fare. Thanks to technological development, we have succeeded in coming out with a movie that would be on par with international standards.”

“No sooner did he see the first few scenes of the movie, than Illayaraja commenced the re-recording work. Special rhythm players were flown-in from Mumbai and the work was completed in 12 days,” he informs.

On roping in Namitha, he says, “when we decided to do the remake of ‘Jaganmohini’, Namitha was the name that popped up in our mind immediately. She combines glamour with performance. Also, due credit should be given to Raja and Meera Chopra, who have played their parts well.’
