Initially I thought it was SP Balasubramanyam....But Rajnaikant (hope my guess is right) Is an institution by himself, very much like Amitabh Bachhan . I personally cannot sit through all of his films like the recent Sivaji, but he is a good actor no doubt about that.I liked and enjoyed watching his earlier spooky thriller Chandramukhi...esp his laka laka laka LOL...
Do you know that movie has killed the original :evil: :evil: :( :( - the manichitra thazhu(1993).... where Shobana played the role of Ganga
better you watch BHool Bhulayya :silly:
I have seen the malayalam film, which as you say was excellent, Shobana is a brilliant actress and I think Mohan lal was in the lead..Bhool Bhulaiyan I am told is rubbish..
19 years have passed since Manichitrathazhu is released, the director got the thread from a real life incident.
It's simply a classic.....
Mohanlal has given life to the movie.....
Actually, Vineeth was to do the role of dancer, but he couldn't.
But in all its remakes, including HINDI, he got the opportunity.
In Malayalam, Mohan lal enters the story in the intermission.....but in Tamil, Rajani is there from first scene itself.
Then the role of Sheela.....no such character in Malayalam movie, it's a new character. Some action scenes also added :silly: :silly: It took the movie far away from reality.
Also, all those Rajani scenes added first were the exact copy of a Mohanlal movie...Aaram Thampuran of 1997. :woohoo: :woohoo:
So, in real story, heroine of Mohan lal didn't get a meaty role, but Nayanthara got it in Tamil.
When taken to Hindi, story was not altered even a single bit as Priyadarshan knows well, it hurts Malayalis if he do so.
So, Amisha Petel got a small role, later she complained also....but in the original story also, her role was short
