Manisha Koirala has been chosen to play the all-important role of Dhanush’s mother-in-law in Maapillai. The film is a remake of Rajinikanth’s 1989 film with the same title.

The film revolves around a clash between an arrogant mother-in-law who always tries to get one-up on her son-in-law. In the original, what worked was the clash between Rajini and Srividya who played his mother-in-law.

For this crucial role the makers of the 2010 Maapillai, director Suraj and Dhanush, had tried to rope in Sridevi, Tabu or Jayaprada but nothing worked.

It is going to be Manisha’s comeback in Tamil films after a very long time. Her last release was Baba with Rajinikanth in 2002.

She had debuted in Tamil with Mani Ratnam’s Bombay and had also done Shankar’s Indian with Kamal Hassan and Mudhalvan with Arjun.
