Director Mahendran joins Priyadarshan’s film
This as-yet-untitled film features Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead
The shooting of the Tamil remake of Malayalam movie Maheshinte Prathikaram is in full swing in Kuttralam, Tamil Nadu.
Helmed by Malayalam director Priyadarshan, this as-yet-untitled film features Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead. Joining the team is Tamil director Mahendran. The veteran director, who was last seen as a villain in Tamil film Theri, will be playing Stalin’s father.
Parvathy Nair and Namitha Pramod are cast opposite Stalin. Tamil actor Samuthrakani plays a key role in this story, besides writing the Tamil dialogues.
Maheshinte Prathikaram, a tale of revenge, did away with the violence usually associated with vendetta tales. Laced with good humour and directed by actor-director Dileesh Pothan, the film brought home the Indian National Award and the Kerala State Award for best screenplay and best picture category.
Naturally, the Tamil remake is eagerly awaited.
