Shafi
is a leading director
in Malayalam. His
four releases were
hits. It was then
that he received a
call from Vikram
who requested that
Shafi should do a
project for him in
Tamil. Vikram also
suggested that it
could be the remake
of Thommanum makkalum.
Thus was Maja
born. Speaking
about the experience
of working with Vikram,
Shafi said that it was
so enjoyable that one
cannot believe that
the film is almost ready
for release now. It
seemed just a few days
ago that the shooting
started. But the postproduction
schedule is on now and
the film is racing up
to a Deepavali release.
Even though it is a
remake, many portions
have been altered keeping
in mind the requirements
of the Tamil audience
and Vikram’s image.
