To
be
able
to
successfully
pull
off
a
remake
is
not
an
easy
task
for
any
film-maker.
Though
remaking
a
film
may
seem
like
a
safe
route
to
make
some
money,
it
is
always
a
gamble
to
invest
in
something
that
has
already
been
enjoyed
by
a
set
of
audience.
Kudos
to
those
who
have
so
far
managed
to
taste
success
by
remaking
other
language
movies
into
Tamil.
