Maalamaal Weekly in Malayalam
Friday,

2007
Once
upon
a
time,
hit
films
in
Hindi
used
to
be
remade
in
Malayalam.
The
trend
was
completely
reversed
when
Priyadarshan
switched
his
attention
to
Hindi.
Of
course,
there
were
some
allegations
of
plagiarism
against
the
director.
But,
that
hasn't
stopped
him
from
making
a
name
for
himself
as
a
successful
director
at
the
box
office
in
Bollywood.
Kilukkam,
Thaalavattam,
Godfather
and
Ramjirao
Speaking
were
some
of
the
Malayalam
superhits
that
were
remade
in
Hindi.
Around last year, Priyadarshan came up with a superhit film in Hindi named Maalamaal Weekly. Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav and Reema Sen had played the lead roles. It was a very low-budget film but it managed to outperform many of the big budget flicks that were released that year.
The film is now going to be remade in Malayalam. Viji Thambi is the director. Actor Jagadeesh returns as scriptwriter. Shrinivasan, Jagadi, Nedumudi Venu and others are going to star in the film.
