Rajini Advise To Vijay
Producers of Rajini’s Thillu Mullu oppose the film’s remake
One of the many super-duper hits of superstar Rajinikanth include Thillumullu which released more than three decades ago in 1981. The film is very close to Rajini’s heart as it was directed by his ‘mentor’ K. Balachander. It was also the first time that Rajini did a character sans his trademark moustache. The film had the curvaceous Madhave opposite him and was a runaway hit.
Reports in the press claimed some time back that ‘Mirchi’ Siva would be starring in the remake of the film by the same name and that he would be reprising the dual roles, made almost legendary by Rajinikanth. The reports also said that the film would be produced by Kavithalaya, run by Balachander’s daughter Pushpa Kandhasamy.
Kalakendra Movies, which produced the original version starring Rajinikanth in the early eighties, has now objected to the efforts made by Kavithalaya in remaking Thillumullu without seeking prior and proper permission from them. Vijayalashmi, who owns Kalakendra Movies, has sent a legal notice to Kavithalaya through her lawyer Anandan.
She has said in the notice that “The film’s remake rights lie solely with us. Without seeking our permission, the film can’t be remade in Tamil or in any other language.”
