In case you didn’t know, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is declared a superhit in chennai. Sify says, the first week opening is bigger than that of Chandramukhi.

The big news in kollywood is that, fresh after the success of ‘Something Something‘ creative director ‘Raja‘ is planning to remake ‘KANK’ in tamil. Saravana Stores is producing the movie, since they see a lot of advertisement potential. It seems they wanted to name the movie as ‘deepavaLikku thuNi eduthu thachaacha?’. But after our CM felt that deepavaLi is not a tamil festival, they have renamed the movie to ‘pongal kku pudhu thuNi aa?‘. Subsequently, the movie is expected to be released by Jan 2007 at matterplex theatres like Parangimalai Jyothi, Avadi Kumaran etc.

When asked creative director Raja said that ‘This is not a scene by scene remake of the hindi movie. Its just a frame by frame remake. And we are modifying it to suit the tamil culture and values. We try to show adultery for the entire duration of the movie, and in the end say how adultery is bad for tamil culture’.

Sabesh Murali are composing the music for the movie. They are at Ghana, right now. When asked, they explained the fact tamil audience like a lot of gaana songs. But no one has heard Ghana songs, which they feel is mindblowing.

Jobless sources say that K Balachandar was initially contacted for this movie. But he refused saying he doesnt handle straight forward movies like ‘KANK’ and wanted to add a twist of 1st hero falling in love with 2nd heroines fathers 1st wifes 3rd daughter, who happens to be his servant maid’s sister in law. Considering the fact that there are lots of bald men in tamilnadu, this concept wouldn’t work out since they wont have anything to tear apart. Hence he opted out of the project.

Futher details awaited.. Stay tuned Machi!
