Remake time in Tamil Films


K. Balachander's `Naan Avanillai' is a classic with Gemini Ganesh playing a Casanova who leads women to the altar without qualms. The veteran had done a splendid job in it. Doing the role in its present day version willbe Jeevan, the villain of `Kaakha Kaakha' and hero of `Thiruttu Payalae.' Selva is the director. It's three decades since KB's `Naan --' came out, but its theme would suit any era. With this step, Tamil film industry revives the practice of re-making old films, like in Hindi. It's nothing new. Earlier too films have been re-made in the same language.
