Director
Shankar finally sighed in relief after the grand
release of Endhiran which was in production
for close to three years. Shankar, who is known
for his grandeur, is going to direct a remake
for the first time in his 20-year career. His
next movie is tentatively titled '3 Rascals'
and here are a few tidbits of the movie.
This will be the first time Shankar will be
using a script of another writer in his direction.
He had earlier remade his own movie Mudhalvan
in Hindi titled 'Nayak'.
3 Rascals is a remake of Hindi blockbuster 3
Idiots which broke all box office records last
year. 3 Idiots had Aamir Khan, Madhavan, Sharman
Joshi and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles.
While Vijay will play Aamir's character in Tamil,
actors Jiva and Siddharth are expected to be
cast in the other two roles.
Telugu actress Ileana will be the female lead
which was enacted by Kareena Kapoor. Ileana's
only appearance in Tamil was in Kedi in the
year 2006.
The music of 3 Rascals will be taken care of
by Harris Jayaraj. This will be only the second
time Harris and Shankar will work together.
Their previous association was in Anniyan in
2005 while music for all of Shankar's other
movies have been composed by AR Rahman.
The cinematographer of this movie will be Manoj
Paramahamsa who shot into fame with his work
in Vinnauthaandi Varuvaayaa. Incidentally, Manoj
earlier worked in Eeram which was produced by
Shankar.
