Vijay grabs “Bommarilu”

In the biggest ever bidding war for the remake rights of that Telugu superhit Bommarilu, has finally ended with our ‘Ilayathalapathy’ Vijay grabbing it for producer ‘Swargachitra’ Appachan!
So the Bommarilu remake will be Vijay’s next film after Pokiri. This brilliantly packaged love story by debutant director Bhaskar featuring Siddharth and Genelia is a huge hit worldwide. The music by Devi Sri Prasad is also a chartbuster.

Every young hero in Kollywood was after Telugu producer ‘Dil’ Raju to purchase the remake rights as nearly 20 screening of the film took place in Chennai. However, it was at a show held at the Four Frames Preview theatre by Siddharth for Trisha where Vijay, Vikram and Ravi Krishna first saw Bommarilu.

Vijay fell in love with the film and could not stop raving about it after the show. He told Moviebuzz: “It is a cute film and the presentation is brilliant. It’s refreshing to see such feel-good films”.

The buzz is that Bhaskar will be directing the Tamil version and it will be a start-to-finish project. But who will plays the crucial role of hero’s strict father, played by Prakash Raj in the original? It will be hard to replace Genelia the innocent and live-wire Hasini of Bommarilu with a new girl in Tamil!
