‘Kucheludu'- Rajinikanth's remake of the Malayalam super hit ‘Katha Parayumpol’ will grace the theatres on July 18.

The interesting thing about the movie is that Malayalees will get an opportunity to compare it with its original, as the movie will be released in Kerala by Seven Arts International, one of its producers.

The movie will get released in at least 80 centers of the state.

The Tamil and Telugu rights of the movie was grabbed by Pyramid Saimira at more than 60 crores.

As the production cost of the movie will come to just under 40 crores, the movie will prove to be a profit to its producers even before its theatrical release.

Rajini will play himself in this film with Kavithalaya producing the film in Tamil and Ashwini Dutt producing the film in Telugu. Nayantara, Jagapathi Babu, Meena, Vadivelu are also in the cast.

The same film is being filmed in Hindi with SRK playing the lead role and titled 'Billu Barber'.
