Jhabaks join hands with Sun for ‘Mappillai’
IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 20, 2009]

“They are doing it”. “No, they aren’t, they have sold the rights to Sun Pictures”. Putting an end to all these guesses as to whether Nemichand Jhabak and V Hitesh Jhabak are producing or not ‘Mappillai’, an official announcement today said the producers are at the helm of affairs of the prestigious project, however by joining hands with Sun Pictures.

As per the new arrangement, the Jhabaks will be the line producers of the Dhanush starrer, which is a remake of a yesteryear Rajinikanth film of the same title. They will make the movie for Sun Pictures on a first copy basis.

Directed by Suraaj, the film which has Hansika Motwani opposite Dhanush has musical score by Manisharma. If sources are to be believed, Jayapradha has been roped in for the all powerful mother-in-law role, played by Sri Vidya in the original.

Says Dhanush, the son-in-law of the Superstar, “I am proud that I am going to do a role played by Rajini sir. ‘Mappillai’ is one of my favourite Rajini films and I had watched it many times. But never had I expected that I would do the lead role in its remake.” 'Mappillai' is going on floors starting today.

அமீரை வைத்து யோகியை இயக்கிய சுப்பிரமணியம் சிவா, அந்த சூட்டோடு அடுத்த படத்தை இயக்கத் தயாராகிவிட்டார்.

இந்த முறை அவர் இயக்கப்போவது தனது முதல் பட நாயகனான தனுஷை.

இந்தப் படத்துக்கு சீடன் என்று பெயர் சூட்டியிருக்கிறார்கள். மலையாளத்தில் வெற்றி பெற்ற நந்தனம் என்ற படம்தான் இந்த சீடனின் அசல்.

பகவான் கிருஷ்ணனின் மகிமையைச் சொல்லும் சமூகப் படமாக மலையாளத்தில் எடுத்திருந்தார்கள். இங்கு தமிழர் கடவுள் முருகன் அல்லவா... எனவே கிருஷ்ணரின் இடத்தில் முருகனை வைத்து திரைக்கதை அமைத்துள்ளாராம் சிவா.

முருகனாக வருபவர் தனுஷ்தான். அவருக்கு ஜோடியாக அனன்யா நடிக்கிறார். ஒரிஜினல் படத்தில் நடித்த பிருவிதிராஜ் இதில் முக்கிய வேடமேற்கிறார்.

Hansika comes to Kollywood!
By Moviebuzz | Monday, 30 November , 2009, 08:46


Dhanush’s Maappilai has started rolling in Chennai and all eyes are on its leading lady Hansika Motwani the new entrant to Kollywood, where there is a dearth of heroines.

She is just 18, and has already done 10 films so far in Hindi and Telugu and one Kannada film out of which 8 are super hits.

So is this striking new face going to give the current hot favourite Tamannaah stiff competition?

She has already snatched the youngest heroine tag from Tammu, but the cute looking Hansika says: “I’m competing with myself first, as my aim is to improve my performance in every film of mine. I’m not bothered about what others are doing and I want to excel in what I do”.

Interestingly, Hansika was to make her Kollywood debut in director Vishnuvardhan’s Sarwam, which did not happen. But now she is happy, as she considers Mappillai as a perfect launch film in which she plays heroine to Dhanush, one of the top heroes in Tamil cinema.

Adds Hansika who has the perfect balance of glamour and quintessential girl-next-door looks: “I am having a blast shooting with Dhanush, and Vivek in Chennai. I am open to do more Tamil films”.

So are Kollywood film makers listening?

'Mappillai' talks about 'Mappillai'
IndiaGlitz [Friday, January 15, 2010]

Now that 'Kutty' has hit the screens, Dhanush's attention is diverted towards 'Mappillai', a remake of a yesteryear film of the same title starring his father-in-law Superstar Rajinikanth.

Produced by Nemichand Jhabak and V Hitesh Jhabak for Sun Pictures, the film directed by Suraaj has Hansika Motwani opposite Dhanush. It has musical score by Mani Sharma.

Says the actor, "The movie is not exactly a remake. We are just using the crux. Suraaj has completely changed the screenplay by adding more comedy elements. Trust me, 'Mappillai' is going to be a laugh riot."

"I am proud that I am going to do a role played by Rajini sir. ‘Mappillai’ is one of my favourite Rajini films and I had watched it many times. But never had I expected that I would do the lead role in its remake," he adds.

Manisha is Dhanush’s mother-in-law!

http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14928195

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.
