Mambattiyan, which is a remake of director Thiagarajan's yesteryear hit, Malayoor Mambattiyan. Meera Jasmine plays the female lead while Prakash Raj plays the police officer who hunts for Mambattiyan.
In the words of Prashanth, 'Mambattiyan sees the use of state-of-the-art technology and I hope audience will love it. It is a cult film and gave stardom to my father. Now we have remade it without changing the content'.
'I think this is the first time a father is remaking his movie, with his son playing the lead,' says Thiagarajan.
'I wanted to shoot the film in areas that haven't been explored much. I hunted for locations for almost a year and we shot in virgin forest areas in Karnataka and Odisha. I am happy with the outcome', he adds.
The movie has music by S Thaman. The songs are said to have come out well, especially the remix of Kattu Vazhi Pora... from the original will rock.
Simbu aka STR's rendition of the remix of 'Kaatu vazhi pora..' song is said to be one of the highlights of the Prashanth-starrer.
