Simran ready to play Dhanush’s mom-in-law

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 28 2009]

At a time when a guessing game is on as to who would play the all-powerful mother-in-law role in the remake of ‘Mappillai’, starring Dhanush, Simran says she is ready to take up the challenge.

Denying reports that she denied playing the role when approached by the film’s director, the yesteryear heartthrob says, “No one has offered me the role so far. I am ready to act with Dhanush if such an offer comes my way.”

Produced by Nemichand Jhabak and directed by Suraaj, the movie’s script, inspired by a Rajinikanth blockbuster of the same title, would undergo some minor changes to suit to the taste of the present generation.

In the original version, late actress Srividya played the character of villainy mom-in-law. The story of the film goes like this- the hero (Rajini) will fall in love with the heroine (Amala) and will marry her against the wish of the heroine’s mom. Then a cold-war starts between the mom in-law and the son-in-law and who wins the fight is ‘Mappillai’ all about.
