National
Award-winning
film
Pithamagan
is
the
latest
movie,
which
has
attracted
the
Bollywood
filmmakers.
The
Tamil
movie,
which
was
released
in
2003,
will
be
remade
in
B-town
with
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
the
leads.
Director
Sathish
Kaushik,
who
had
remade
Vikram's
Sethu
in
Bollywood
as
Tere
Naam
with
Salman
Khan,
has
bagged
the
remake
rights
of
the
blockbuster
film.
Other
noted
filmmakers
like
Boney
Kapoor,
David
Dhawan
and
Vashu
Bhagnani
were
also
in
the
race
but
it
was
Sathish,
who
has
got
a
last
laugh.
The
filmmaker,
who
is
happy
after
bagging
the
rights,
said
that
he
had
seen
Pithamagan
in
a
theatre
in
2003.
He
claims
that
he
was
impressed
by
Vikram's
mind
blowing
performance.
Since
then,
he
has
been
thinking
to
remake
it
in
Hindi.
Now
it
is
materialising.
Meanwhile,
sources
say
that
the
filmmaker
has
neither
approached
Hrithik
Roshan
nor
Saif
Ali
Khan
but
he
wishes
that
their
combination
could
be
the
right
choice.
Pithamagan
tells
the
story
of
a
autistic
graveyard
caretaker
named
Chithan
played
by
Vikram
and
petty
thief
Sakthi,
which
was
performed
by
Surya.
The
former,
who
was
an
orphan
at
young
age,
grew
without
much
human
contacts.
However,
Sakthi
tries
to
reform
the
uncivilised
Chithan
and
they
become
good
friends
in
the
process.
Meanwhile,
the
former
is
killed
by
a
ganja
dealer.
How
Chithan
seeks
revenge
against
him
is
the
crux
of
the
story.
