Pithamaghan goes to Bollywood remake
October 3rd, 2009 - 10:57 am ICT by Sampurn Wire
Bala’s “Pithamaghan’ has gained appreciations and honors at various awards ceremonies. Indeed, the film happened to be the greatest milestone in the film careers of Vikram and Surya. Soon after the film’s release, the leading producers and directors of Bollywood are eyeing on acquiring the remake rights of the same.
Finally, filmmaker Satish Kaushik has signed the deal by getting the rights. Speaking to media networks, he says, “I wanted to remake “Pithamaghan’ much before it won accolades. But due to some constraints and unavoidable issues, the process was quite delayed. Now, I making some changes adaptable to the tastes of Hindi audiences and will commence the shooting very shortly.”
It has been confirmed that Sanjay Dutt will be roped in for the lead role enacted by Vikram in Tamil version. Satish is holding talks with other leading actors to be a part of this multi-starrer project.
Satish Kaushik shot to fame with his ridiculous remake of “Karzzzz’ starring Himesh Reshammiya in lead role. Let’s hope, he doesn’t spoil the earnest efforts of director Bala, who made a tremendous show with “Pithamaghan’.
