Kireedam originally was made in Malayalam, *ing Mohanlal. Then it was remade in Hindi as Gardish (marking Priyadarshan's entry in Hindi) *ing Jackie Shroff. Now, after almost 10 years, it is making an entry in Tamil!

Mohanlal got his best actor National Award for the original Mal. version. It was fresh in Hindi - a decent storyline, powerful star cast and a good technical team. For Amrish Puri it was a career defining film as a character artist. Farida Jalal also benefited from it a lot. Since then, they got to play similar characters in film after film.

However I am not sure if this story will be relevant today (as dozens of movies based on the same theme have already been made over the decade). But who knows? Our junta loves aracha Maavu... It may end up being Ajit's best hit ever!

Thanks for d info. I duno there is a Hindi Kireedam.
I think the story will be relevent to people at all times bcoz it's reveals around father-son relationship.
All matters now is the screenplay of the movie which shud be more suitable for the current generation. I'm sure A.LVijay has came up with some new ways of presenting his ideas throughout the movie.
