Thiruvananthapuram:
Debutant

impressed
with
his
simple
yet
quirky
narration
in
Tamil-Malayalam
bilingual
film
Neram,
will
soon
remake
the
movie
in
Hindi.
The
director
is
currently
in
talks
with
a
few
leading
Bollywood
producers
and
hopes
to
make
an
official
announcement
about
the
project
and
its
cast
and
crew
details
soon.
Talking
to
IANS,
Alphonse
Putharen
said,
"I
plan
to
direct
the
Hindi
version
as
well,
but
at
the
moment
we
are
in
talks
with
few
producers
who
have
expressed
interest
in
the
remake.
I
have
few
actors
that
I
would
like
to
cast,
but
can't
divulge
information
with
regards
to
it." The
director
added,
"We
are
likely
to
hear
from
the
producers
soon
and
only
after
that
will
I
know
when
the
remake
will
go
on
the
floors."
Made
on
a
shoestring
budget
of
Rs
1.5
crore,
the
film
Neram
features
debutants
Nivin
Pauly
and
Nazriya
Nizam
in
the
lead
roles.
Released
on
May
17,
the
movie
is
still
running
to
packed
houses.
The
premise
of
the
story
is
that
there
are
good
and
bad
times
in
our
lives
and
that
both
have
important
parts
to
play.
It
also
stars
a
host
of
other
actors,
such
as
John
Vijay,
