Sun Pictures buys "Ninaithale Inikkum " movie distribution rights

The release rights of ‘Ninaithaale Inikkum’, starring Prithviraj, Shakthi and Priyamani in lead roles, have been acquired by Sun Pictures. Plans are on to release the film in September.

Says the movie’s director Kumaravelan, “Remakes should reflect the culture of the land in which they are being made into. We have carefully remade Malayalam hit ‘Classmates’ as Ninaithaale Inikkum.”

“The first thing we ensured when we planned ‘Ninaithaale Inikkum’ was that the story should undergo minor changes to suit the Tamil audience. Lal Jose’s ‘Classmates’ set in a college campus had fun, frolic and emotional elements. We have recreated the same in Tamil,” he adds.

Has Sun Pictures has accquired the film distribution rights , we can expect a lot of promotion done in all Sun Network channels that will help the movie get a good opening at the release day.

Who is Raavana’s Mandodhari in ManiRathnam film ?

Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavana’ steals a lot of attention, both for good and the dark reasons. He is busy churning out ‘Raavana’, the bilingual project, in spite of lay-backs.

The director had at times remade epics into modern day stories ever since ‘Thalapathi’ (story of Karna from Mahabharata). And inspired by ‘Ramayana’, he is working on ‘Raavana’ with lots of diligence to bring it out as a masterwork.

As per his plan, for the Hindi version the characters based on Rama and Seetha is played by Abhishek and Aish while Vikram would play the shades of Ravana. On the other hand the Tamil version will have Vikram replacing Abhishek’s role and would pair up with Aish. Prithiviraj would play the baddie in this version. We are also aware that Priyamani is roped in for the role of ‘Surpanagai’ for both the versions.

But, for quite some time there is a delay in fixing up an actress for the role of Mandodhari (Ravana’s wife). As most of us know, the gorgeous Nayantara has refused this juicy offer from the maverick movie maker. It was said that she turned down the role of Mandodhari as there was no glamour quotient. Guess what? A small birdie says that Mani Sir is now eying Reema Sen, for the same role. The ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ girl is still busy with the project’s patch work. But Suhasni Mani Ratnam had directly approached Selvaragavan and had asked for his permission to hire the lady for her husband’s project just for ten days.

Be it ten days or fifty days, will Selvaragavan allow Reema to cross his territory?
