Sathyaraj to star in Rathakanneer remake
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,November 28 2006]
Sathyaraj is a great fan of M R Radha.
Sathyaraj has used some of the techniques of M R Radha on screen and like him, is an atheist off screen.
So it is no surprise that Sathyaraj wants to do the remake of Rathakanneer, a movie that has given abiding name and fame to M R Radha.
The movie about a decadent Anglophile, who derides everything India and goes on a hedonistic binge, was a cult hit as a drama and then as a film.
It was M R RadhaÂs calling card and the ÂAdiye Kantha dialogue is stuff of the local legend.
It will be interesting to see Sathyaraj mouth those celebrated lines.
SathyarajÂs favourite director, Sakthi Chidambaram may direct this remake.
Sathyaraj also wants to remake his own hit Poovizhi Vasalile.
