Dhanush
has
given
back
to
back
hits
in
the
form
of
Uthamputhiran
and
Aadakulam.
Now,
for
his
next
venture,
he
has
teamed
up
with
Suraj
for
Mappillai.
They
have
worked
together
in
Padikathavan.
Mappillai
is
a
remake
of
Rajinikanth's
yesteryear
blockbuster
film
with
the
same
name.
Interesting
point
of
the
film
is
that
the
superstar's
son-in-law
himself
is
starring
in
the
film
and
enacting
the
role
played
by
Rajini
in
the
original.
The
story
of
the
film
revolves
around
a
kind-hearted
boy
,
who
falls
in
love
with
and
a
rich
woman's
daughter.
As
expected,
she
opposes
it
but
the
couple
marries
against
her
wishes.
Soon,
she
vows
to
separate
them
but
against
all
odds,
her
son-in-law
teaches
her
the
hard
lessons
of
life
and
make
her
realize
that
love
and
affection
are
more
important
than
money.
According
to
Suraj,
Dhanush
was
the
first
and
only
choice
he
had
in
his
mind
to
play
the
lead
role.
The
director
has
roped
in
Manisha
Koirala
and
Hansika
Motwani
for
the
mother-daughter
roles,
which
was
played
by
Srividya
and
Amala
in
Rajinikanth
starrer
film.
Mani
Sharma
has
scored
six
songs
for
Suraj's
Mappillai
for
which
Viveka,
Snehan
and
Pa.
Vijay
have
penned
the
songs.
The
audio
of
the
film
was
released
on
March
11,
2011.
Mappillai
is
produced
by
Nemichand
