Rajini’s next movie has been named Kuselan. Even before the excitement of Sivaji down, the announcement about Supter Star Rajini’s forthcoming movies have been announced. This is the movie that he does for P.Vaasu for KB’s Kavithalaya Banner.
In all probabilities it look like the Superstar may do a quickie before he starts the mega project Robot with Shankar. The legendary actor will do this film for his mentor K Balachander under the direction of his closed friend P Vasu, the director has already given four Blockbusters with the actor.
This film titled Kuselan is a remake of the Malayalam film Katha Parayumbol which featured Mammooty and Sreenivasan in the lead roles. The film is a light-hearted sentimental comedy that pulls at your heart strings and is about the deep friendship between a barber in a village and a superstar, who comes to shoot a film there. The film has already become a super hit in Kerala and many film makers including Prakash Raj are in queue to get the remaking rights of the film.
The Malayalam version dealt deeply the friendship and relationship between a barber and a popular film star. In Kuselan, Rajnikanth will be playing the role of Mammooty and Pasupathy will take on Sreenivasan’s character. Inside sources reveal that the name Kuselan is chosen from Hindu mythology where he happens to be Lord Krishna’s childhood friend and the latter comes to his rescue when he is in a very bad state of poverty. Looks like the Super Star’s Kuselan also will highlight the significance of true friendship.
Last week, Srinivasan held a special screening of the film for Rajinikanth in Chennai at Four Frames. After the movie, Rajini, who was Srini’s senior at Madras Film Institute, hugged him and shown great interest to remake it in Tamil. Later, the actor invited Srinivasan to his house and hosted lunch after discussing a lot on this remake.
Now everything has been finalized for this remake and Pasupathy has been booked for the barber role which was done by Srinivasan in the original. Vasu has already started his script work for this film and Vidhyasagar will compose music for this perfect entertainer. The title and other cast and crew will be announced by the end of this week.
The shoot of the film will start immediately and Rajinikanth will prefer to complete and release the film by August 2008, before he starts Shankar’s Robot. This would, for sure, help Shankar in fine tuning his script for the mega project.
