It’s almost confirmed. And only an official announcement has to be made. That ‘Nanban’, the Vijay-Srikanth-Jeeva starrer directed by Shankar, will see the light of the day on the day of lights- Deepavali.
A Tamil remake of Hindi blockbuster ‘Three Idiots’, ‘Nanban’ is busy taking shape in Coimbatore, Ooty, Andaman and Amsterdam. “Most parts of the shoot are over and Shankar will commence post-production soon,” say sources.
It is to be noted here that Shankar would take enough time for post-production since the director would never be ready for any compromise on the end product. “Since this is his first remake, he is putting extra efforts.”
With Ileana playing the role played by Kareena Kapoor in the Hindi original, Sathyaraj is doing the character of a college principal, who is the heroine’s father. Anuya has an important role, that of Ileana’s elder sister.
“Just finished the first schedule of ‘Nanban’ in Ooty. It was really a good start and I am able to feel things started working. I enjoyed,” the creator of ‘Endhiran’ has written on his blog.
Expressing happiness further, he said: “It was full of fun and laughter, there was a lot of energy flowing as it was a young team… I will keep you posted.” Shankar has also released a set of photographs clicked on the sets of ‘Nanban’.
The photographs had Shankar working with Jeeva and S J Suryah among others. Starring Vijay, Srikanth and Jeeva in lead roles, ‘Nanban’ is produced by Gemini Film Circuit. Ileana plays the heroine, enacted by Kareena Kapoor in the original version.
