The 2009 Malayalam film My Big Father, which starred Jayaram and Guinness Pakru, is all set to be remade in Tamil. The film will be helmed by Mahesh Sreenivasan who also directed the original.
Sources state that the film had many offers for it to be remade in Tamil, but the director opted to remake it himself, and has now commenced the groundwork for the Tamil version. Guinness Pakru, who is known for Tamil films such as Dishyum, Kaavalan and 7aum Arivu, is expected to reprise his role in the remake. The hunt is on to find an actor for the role played by Jayaram, and it is speculated that a prominent actor will play the lead.
