BGK, Compared to Malayalam films, Tamil films are noisy and very lewd. I have seen 'Katha Parayumbol', the Malayalm original brilliantly written and enacted by Srinivasan. I do remember what the writer-actor said on the launch of 'Kuchelan'-" They asked me for the remake rights and I have given it to them; no it is up to them to do whatever they want..." He was after all very prophetic! I read reports that they have signed an actress to pair with Rajini, while in the Malayalam version, Mamooty had no pair! the original beautifully describes the fine relationship between a village barber and a mega star. Here they are talking about a bus conductor (to give it a biographical touch to please Rajini)and a driver! If this not butchering, what is it? I can only blame Malayalis who awarded the remake rights to Tamil film makers.
