Successful Mollywood films were always remade in other Indian languages and specially in to Bollywood and Kollywood. If the film is too good then it will be remade into almost all South Indian languages and in Hindi as well. We saw it in the case of the epic Mohanlal starrer film named Manichithrathazhu to another epic Mohanlal starrer flick Drishyam by Jeethu Joseph. Drishyam is the latest example of this as it has been remade into Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil. In Tamil it was remade by the director of the original version, Jeethu Joseph. All the versions of the film had become huge successes and the Tamil version also has become one of the finest success of Kamal Haasan who played the lead in Tamil. Jeethu Joseph has also received great appreciation for his directorial and screenplay writing skills.
Now the latest news from the industry is that Jeethu Joseph’s another Mollywood success is also getting ready to be remade into Tamil. It is the Prithviraj starrer film Memories which was a super hit at box office in Kerala. Arivazhagan will conceive the Tamil remake of the film and Arulnidhi will play the lead character played by Prithviraj in Malayalam. The Tamil flick is not yet titled. They are planning to start the shooting of the film in this October. The success of Jeethu’s film in Kollywood has really inspired the thought of remaking his other films into Kollywood as well.
It will be financed by the popular production house who worked behind the films like Baahubali and Kanchana 2’ recently named Thenandal films. The director had told to the media that he is remaking it based on the tastes of Tamil audience but the soul of the original will be kept intact in the remake as well. He is now finalizing the heroine as well as the other cast and crew of the movie.
Memories had told the story of an alcoholic police officer named Sam who was forced to start investigating a series of murder happening in his state. The flick revolves around his mental conflicts as well. Hope this super hit repeat the success it had in Mollywood.
