The director duo Pramod-Pappan is planning to remake the Tamil hit movie ‘Kakki Sattai’ in Malayalam. The original movie had superstar Kamal Haasan in the lead role. Now, in the Tamil version, the directors are thinking to cast young superstar Prithviraj in the lead role.
Rajasekhar directed the film in Tamil, which was released twenty five years ago. The movie was a runaway hit and Kamal Haasan became a superstar with this film.
The makers of the Malayalam version are yet to announce the names of other cast and crew. Jagadeesh Chandran is set to produce the movie under the banner of Kichu Films. Rajesh Jayaraman will be writing the script of the Malayalam remake of ‘Kakki Sattai’.
The Tamil film had Ambica, Madhvi and Satyaraj apart from Haasan. Renowned music director Ilaiyaraaja composed the music of the movie.
‘Kakki Sattai’ is all about a young man, who aspires to become a police officer. But constant rejection leads him to join a gang of smugglers. His girlfriend doesn’t like it and ditches him saying that she would never marry a gangster.
Towards the end, the film takes a dramatic turn and everything ends well.
