Director Kannan has cleared the air by saying that his forthcoming film ‘Vanthaan Ventraan’, starring Jeeva and Tapsee in lead roles, is not a remake, but based on an original script penned by him.

“My maiden film ‘Jayam Kondaan’ too is not inspired by any other movie. Only my second venture ‘Kanden Kadhalai’ is the Tamil adaptation of Bollywood hit Jab We Met,” says the former associate of Mani Ratnam.

Saying that ‘Vanthaan Ventraan’ would be an interesting mix of romance, action and comedy, the filmmaker says Jeeva, Tapsee and Santhanam had ensured that the package would be presented well to the audience.

“Though Jeeva is playing a boxer, it is just his profession in the movie and it doesn’t have any crucial importance. The screenplay will be so different and I am hopeful that film-buffs would love watching ‘Vanthaan Ventraan’,” Kannan further says.
