Pudhiya Varpugal is Sithu now

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,June 30 2009]

Looks like director Bhagiyaraj has taken the advice of historians seriously. Hailed as the one of the best screenwriters ever produced in Kollywood, Bhagiyaraj had earlier titled his son Santhanu’s second flick ‘Pudhiya Varpugal’.

But owing to suggestions from historians, that future generations will get confused if two films were made with the same title, the director is said to have changed the film’s title. The Santhanu starrer will now be known as ‘Sithu’.

This is Santhanu’s second film after ‘Sakarakatti’. ‘Sithu’ is being written, produced and directed by Bhagiyaraj, and is not a remake of the yesteryear film. The new title has come with a captivating slogan that goes like ‘+2 First Attempt’. The movie has music by Dharan and is slated for release next month. It is a bilingual, and is being directed by Bhagiyaraj after the Prithviraj-Saranya starrer ‘Parijatham’.
