The yesteryear blockbuster film
Mapillai that starred the superstar
will be remade again and that his
son-in-law Dhanush will star in
the film is a known fact. The film
is produced by Nemichand Jhabak
and will be directed by Suraaj.
Mapillai is all about the tiffs
between the hero and his mother-in-law.
In the original, late Srividhya
played this character and the director
was in the look out for a prominent
actress to do the role.
Suraaj first approached Kushboo,
but she reportedly told the director
that she is not interested in the
project. Later, the director tried
to rope in Nadiya, but she denied
the offer. Simran was the next choice
but the lady is so busy with her
child’s schooling that she
has said no to the director.
At last, the director finalized
on Anu Hassan who agreed instantly.
The character will be modified according
to the modern era and with this
the team has geared up to start
the work of the Mapillai remake.
