Jeeva to star in the Tamil version of Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil
Angamaly Diaries star Antony Varghese’s new movie Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil was released last week (March 31). The movie opened to overwhelming response from the audience, which includes both critics and the commoners. Tinu Pappachan, a former associate of Lijo Jose Pellissery has directed this movie.
As per our sources from within the industry, Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil is most likely to get a Tamil version. The makers are planning to cast actor Jeeva in the remake. A special screening has also been arranged for him, after which an official announcement is expected to be made. If reports are to be believed, Tinu Pappachan will be directing the Tamil version as well.
Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil scripted by newcomer Dileep Kurian is a prison-break thriller, perhaps the first of its kind in Malayalam cinema. Tinu Pappachan’s uniquely stylish making backed with good performances from the lead actors make the movie a clear winner. It is an edge-of-the-seat thriller with loads of action and mass moments. Since prison-break is an universal theme, it can be placed anywhere but it will be interesting to see how the makers tweak the script in order to suit the sensibilities of the Tamil audience.
Vinayakan, Chemban Vinod Jose, Rajesh Sharma, Tito Wilson, a few actors from Angamaly Diaries and a bunch of newcomers are also part of the Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil. It is produced by BC Joshi and is presented by director B Unnikrishnan. Lijo Jose Pellissery and Chemban Vinod Jose are also part of the team as co-producers.
