The
name
Priyadarshan
is
synonymous
with
remakes
as
adaptations.
The
director
who
has
made
a
place
of
his
own
by
remaking
popular
Malayalam
movies
in
Hindi
like
Hera
Pheri,
Garam
Masala,
Bhagam
Bhag,
Hulchul
and
Bhool
Bhulaiya
is
back
to
his
chosen
area.
Malayalam
movie
Vellanakalude
Naadu
which
was
released
way
back
in
1989
with
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role
is
to
be
remade
in
Hindi
with
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
lead.
The
original
Malayalam
version
was
scripted
by
none
other
than
Sreenivasan.
The
Hindi
verso
titled
as
Khatta
Meetta
will
also
be
special
in
another
way.
This
movie
help
the
South
Indian
beauty
Trisha
gain
a
foothold
in
Bollywood.
Priyadarshan
recently
won
the
national
award
for
the
Malayalam
movie
Kanchivaram,
a
realistic
movie
in
every
sense
of
the
term.
It
has
come
as
a
surprise
that
a
director
who
vociferously
lashed
against
the
media
for
branding
him
as
a
remake
director
is
back
to
making
remakes.
Who
said
that
you
have
to
stand
by
what
you
say
or
preach!
