Maheshinte Prathikaram Tamil remake: Nimir will be Priyadarshan’s most visually beautiful movie!
It is already known that Priyadarshan is remaking the superhit Malayalam movie Maheshinte Prathikaram in Tamil. Udhayinidhi Stalin is playing the lead role in this movie titled as Nimir. Malayali actresses Namitha Pramod and Parvatii Nair will be seen as the two female leads.
Remaking a successful movie is always a big challenge as comparisons are bound to happen. It is not a cakewalk to adapt a particular story for another set of audience, whose tastes are different. However, Priyadarshan is used to remaking films. He has time and again proved his ability to remake movies without losing the essence of the original version.
Latest reports about Nimir suggests that Priyadarshan has taken extra efforts to present the story very authentically to the Tamil audience. In a recent interview, actress Parvatii Nair said that Nimir has to be the most visually beautiful film that the ace filmmaker has ever shot. He has put in a lot of work to make every frame a treat for the eye.
Apparently, Priyadarshan was very particular about the looks and costumes of each character. While the original version had a Christian setting, the lead characters in Nimir have a Hindu background. The entire movie has been shot in a single schedule in the picturesque backdrop of Tenkasi.
Maheshinte Prathikaram, directed by Dileesh Pothan and starring Fahadh Faasil in the titular role was a huge success, both critically and commercially. It went on to win numerous accolades including a couple of National Awards last year.
Priyadarshan has slightly tweaked the original script by giving more prominence to humour so as to suit the sensibilities of the Tamil audience. Actor Samuthirakani is penning the dialogues and he is also playing the villain role in the movie.
Priyadarshan has retained most of his technicians from Oppam for this upcoming movie also. NK Ekambaram is wielding the camera and MS Ayyappan Nair is handling the edits. Santhosh T Kuruvilla of Moonshot Entertainment is producing this movie, which is expected to hit screens by the end of this year.
