Rajinikanth in a Malayalam Remake 'Bhaskar the Rascal'

Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan's 'Papanasam' was one of the blockbusters of the year 2015. We know that it is the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit thriller 'Drishyam' which had Mohanlal in the lead role. It may be relevant to recall that Superstar Rajinikanth was the initial choice to reprise Mohanlal's role in the Tamil remake but the star did not take up the offer since he felt that the role would not go down well with this fans.

But it seems the time as ripe now, for the eternal Superstar to act in a Malayalam remake and he will be reprising the role played by Megastar Mammootty in the original.

Director Siddique had directed last year's super hit Malayalam flick 'Bhaskar The Rascal' with Mammootty and Nayanthara in lead roles. In his recent interview to a popular Malayalam weekly, Siddique has confirmed that he will be directing the film's Tamil remake with Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role.
