Nootrukku Nooru was a smashing hit of yester
year directed by the legendary K Balachander
and had Jayashankar and Srividhya in the lead
role. This story was about a college professor
and his students and now this is being remade
by Selva for Kavithalaya banners. This follows
closely on the heels of success of Naan Avanillai
which again was a remake from the film of
the same title.
While discussing about remakes, Selva says, “I am
extremely happy about the success of Naan Avanillai and
this has set a new trend in Kollywood for remaking old
films. Some people attribute the lack of scripts for remakes
but I don’t agree with it. Films that have been
released a few decades ago had an excellent story element
and there is nothing wrong in remaking them suitably altering
it to present day scenario.” On the new Nootrukku
Nooru, Selva says that he has plans to make a few changes
in the original storyline and present in a stylish form.
