Tamil’s 1978 cult classic, Aval Appadithaan which had Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth and Sripriya in the lead roles is reportedly said to be remade now. The film is all set to be remade by director Badri Venkatesh starring Shruti Haasan and Dulquer Salmaan and Simbu.
According to the reports, the director has reportedly approached Shruti Haasan to play the role of Sripriya, while Dulquer Salmaan and Simbu will be playing the roles of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth’s characters respectively. Talking about the same, the director told The Times Of India, “It all started when I took up a social media challenge and answered my niece, who is an American, that the soundtrack of Aval Appadithan resonates with me even today, and tagged Shruti Haasan.” However, he stated that there might be issues as he does not know who is holding the copyrights for Aval Appadithaan. “C Rudhraiya (screenplay writer) is no more and I don’t think his daughter, who is in the US, also knows about it. I won’t be recreating the film frame by frame, but I want to start this project without any hindrance,” He was quoted as saying by the English daily.
Directed by Ananthu, Aval Appadithaan was produced by Raga Manjari, along with the students of Chennai’s MGR Government Film and Television Training Institute. Ilaiyaraaja composed music and lyrics were penned by Gangai Amaran and Kannadasan.
