This is the big fat rumour that’s making its rounds in tinselville. The two hot stars of K’town — Ajith and Vijay, are coming together for the remake of the cult classic movie Ninaithale Inikkum that featured the two biggies Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth in the lead.
The flick was directed by K. Balachandar, the man who introduced the two iconic stars to the film industry. Jayapradha, the heroine of the movie, was critically acclaimed for her beauty and performance.
Reportedly, the man who is going to wield the megaphone is ace filmmaker Selvah, who introduced Ajith to Tamil with Amaravathi.
It is learnt that Selvah met Ajith recently, and in the course of their conversation, Thala expressed his desire to work in Selvah’s direction and wished it could be in the Ninaithale Inikkum remake.
Selvah has already tasted success with the Naan Avanillai (again directed by KB) remake, and is quite familiar with the nitty gritty.
The buzz is that while Ajith will play the role of Kamal, Selvah is making a lot of changes to Rajini’s character, which merelycomplimented Kamal’s in the original.He aims to make it equally important to the main lead, and then approach Vijay to play it.
However, when Selvah was contacted by this newspaper, he was furious about miscreants who spread such false rumours.“It is funny how people’s imaginations run wild — there’s not an iota of truth in it. First of all, it’s been a long time since I met Ajith.
So, it is an absolutely baseless rumor and there’s no such movie in the offing.” It may be recalled that last year, a gossip that spread like wildfire was about Thala and Ilayathalapathy coming together for the remake of the Bollywood blockbuster Sholay, which later fizzled out!
