'Drishyam' remake to have Nellai background
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,June 17 2014]
The Padma Bhushan Kamal Haasan will be starring in a remake film after a gap of four years after completing his current projects ÂUttama Villain and ÂViswaroopam IIÂ. As it has been reported earlier, the veteran actor will take up the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit film ÂDrishyam to be directed by Jeetu Joseph, who directed the original with Mohan Lal and Meena in lead roles. The film is expected to go on floors in September.
While Kamal will reprise the role played by Mohan Lal, so many speculations on who will replace Meena in the Tamil remake have done the rounds right from the day the project was announced. There were also reports suggesting that Gauthami, one of the leading heroes of late 80Âs and 90Âs will be making a comeback, playing the wife of Kamal Haasan in this film. Now sources reveal that Gauthami being cast for the role is certain.
It is said that Kamal and Gauthami will be acting as a couple from Thirunelveli. It is to be remembered that Mollywood Superstar and Meena acted as a middle class Christian couple living in a rural locality in Kerala.
If this is true, we can be assured of the original Thirunelveli (Nellai) dialect of Tamil being spoken by in the film by ÂMr.Perfect Kamal Haasan.
