Kuselan, Rajni’s next

The tile of the quickie that Superstar Rajinikanth would be doing before Shankar’s Robot has been decided. The film, to be directed by P. Vasu, has now been christened Kuselan.

The film is about the friendship between a village barber and his friend, a movie star who comes to that village for shooting. Hence the title Kuselan, who according to Hindu mythology, is the poor friend of Lord Krishna. Rajinikanth plays the movie star while Pasupathi is touted to play the role of the barber.

This will be a remake of the Malayalam flick Katha Parayumbol, which was Mammootty’s X’mas offer in 2007, with Mammootty and Sreenivasan playing the lead roles. Rajinikanth, who watched a special show of the movie in Chennai, was inspired by it and decided to do it in Tamil.

P. Vasu and Rajni joined hands to give the blockbuster Chandrmukhi, which was also a remake of a Malayalam movie. Will they get lucky again? In all likelihood, yes! Furthermore, they will have the super resources of KB’s wisdom to tap into as well. Yes, the ace director’s Kavithalaya Productions will be producing the film.
