It will
be a remake of the Malayalam film Katha
Parayumbol directed by Mohanan starring
Mammooty, Sreenivas and Meena, which released
all over Kerala last Christmas and is running
to packed houses and was also critically
well received.
In Katha Parayumbol, Mammooty played the
role of a superstar and appeared only in
a few scenes but it was a very significant
role. In the Tamil version, however, sources
indicate director P. Vasu has considerably
increased the length of Rajini’s role so
as to please his fans but it will still
only occupy a minor part in the film, significant
nevertheless. He has even adapted the story
to suit the Tamil audiences they say. Actor
Pasupathy will play the role essayed by
Sreenivas in the original. Vasu has requested
Rajini to allocate a mere 10 days, which
is an indication on the duration of his
role. Another aspect is that Rajini will
not have a leading lady opposite him, reports
say. Hope Rajini's fans can get enough of
their superstar on screen. After all they
are the ones who bring in the moolah.
