“My first three films are remakes. But my fourth venture would be based on my own script,” says Mithran Jawahar. The filmmaker, who earned name with ‘Yaaradi Nee Mohini’, has completed ‘Kutty’ and is getting ready to remake Telugu hit ‘Ready’.

“I struggled for more than 10 years as an assistant director. I had approached many producers with my own storyline, but my efforts went in vain. And when I got the offer to remake Tollywood blockbuster ‘Aadavari Maatalaku Ardhale Verule’, I couldn’t say no,” says the director on bagging his first venture.

“Everyone appreciated me after the release of ‘Yaaradi Nee Mohini’ that I had remade the Telugu movie well suiting to the taste of Tamil audience. One fine day, the offer to remake ‘Arya’ knocked my doors. The result is Kutty,” he says.

“When I was about to start a film based on my own story, I was asked to go for a remake again. And I am ready for ‘Ready’ now. I am searching for an apt title for the Tamil version. Dhanush and Genelia are coming together for the first time,” he says.

On working with Dhanush again and again, Jawahar says, “this one too is a sheer coincidence like how all my three ventures are remakes. At the same time, I have to say that working with Dhanush is sheer pleasure. I am very comfortable to be his colleague.”
