After the recent release of 'Kuselan', the remake of the Malayalam super hit 'Katha Parayumpol', there is a whiff in the air about another possible Malayalam remake in Tamil. According to reports, plans are on to remake the Malayalam film 'One Way Ticket' that had Prithiviraj in the lead and Mammootty in a cameo as himself. The story was about Mammooty, a superstar in films, coming down to a village to save his ardent fan's love life. A big banner that produces Tamil films is said to have bought the rights for this movie and is ready to remake the film with Vijay in the lead role. The reports also add that superstar Rajinikanth has been approached to play the cameo. Official confirmation is not out yet and it is not known if Rajinikanth will give the nod. An interesting point to note is that Rajinikanth has been remaking quite a number of Malayalam hits. 'Muthu' was the remake of 'Thenmavin Kombathu' and 'Chandramukhi', the remake of the Malayalam classic 'Manichithra Thaazhu'. With recent reports that have come in saying that 'Kuselan' has managed only a lukewarm opening, the decision and announcement about remaking 'One Way Ticket' might go under the scanner.
Director S A Chandrasekhar's 'Pandhayam' starring Nithin Sathya, Prakash Raj and Sindhu Tolani is almost complete. Buzz is that Vijay had performed in a guest role in the film.
He plays the actor himself. Sources close to the director say, 'Chandrasekhar has accommodated more scenes than originally planned for Vijay in the movie. Though initial plans were to cast Vijay in a small cameo, the director has ended up shooting a stunt sequence and a song featuring his son'. However he has chosen to keep details about Vijay's role inside the closet as of now considering the 'Kuselan' fiasco. More scenes for Vijay would be good news for Vijay fans. Obviously they would love to see more of their favorite hero on screen.Brushing aside information published in certain sections of the press that Priyamani would concentrate only in glamour oriented roles, the National Award winning actress has stated that there is no truth in these reports. 'I have never said anything like that to anybody at anytime,' the actress said. 'After 'Paruthiveeran' I was extra careful not to be branded as an a
ctress who can do only rustic roles. Having this in mind I accepted roles that involved glamour as well. This does not mean I will do only glamorous roles. I don't want to be stuck with a particular image and want to be known as someone who can perform in all kinds of roles', clarified the actress. Priyamani is busy with movies made in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. In Tamil filmdom, she stars in 'Ninaithale Innikum', 'Arumugam' with Bharath and in the Mani Ratnam project that is expected to start soon. The actress also added that since she is working in many languages, she might not be able to have a consistent release of films in any particular language.
