Actor
Manoj
will
make
his
directorial
debut
by
remaking
his
father
Bharathiraja"s
Sigappu
Rojakkal,
which
featured
Kamal
Hassan
and
Sridevi
in
the
lead
roles.
KRG,
producer
of
original
version
will
churn
out
this
remake
as
well.
Much
invigorated
with
his
spirits,
Manoj
says,
“Acting
wasn"t
my
preference
and
I
had
to
do
it
for
the
sake
of
fulfilling
my
father"s
wish.
Working
with
versatile
filmmakers
like
Mani
Ratnam
and
Shankar
has
enlightened
me
a
lot
over
making
films
with
new
dimensions.
As
of
now,
I
and
my
father
have
been
working
on
script
works
for
this
remake,
which
will
be
shot
in
Hollywood
style
and
we
are
holding
talks
with
best
technicians
in
the
project.
Soon
after
completing
the
script,
we"ll
go
for
casting
the
actors
and
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
has
already
started
tuning
melodies
for
the
film."
Sigappu
Rojakkal
was
one
of
the
best
films
ever
made
by
Bharathiraja
which
featured
Kamal
Hassan
as
a
psychopath
who
sexually
harasses
women
and
slays
them.
