If
films
are
watched
for
entertainment,
it
is
important
to
enjoy
them
as
they
are,
even
if
it's
a
remake,
says
Tamil
director
R
Kannan,
known
for
remaking
Hindi
films
Jab
We
Met
and
Delhi
Belly
in
Tamil.
"I
don't
understand
why
two
films
should
be
compared
even
if
one
is
a
remake
of
the
other.
By
comparing,
we
are
only
restricting
ourselves
from
enjoying
a
film.
In
simple
words,
we
are
literally
killing
entertainment," Kannan
told
IANS.
"Most
remakes
are
made
keeping
in
mind
so
many
factors,
but
people
very
easily
discard
it
by
comparing
it
with
the
original.
Even
though
I
know
it's
extremely
difficult
not
to
expect
people
from
comparing
remakes,
I
feel
it
should
be
stopped,"
he
added.
Kannan
feels
his
forthcoming
Tamil
comedy
Settai,
remake
of
adult-comedy
Delhi
Belly,
is
very
likely
to
be
compared
as
well.
"Ever
since
the
film
has
been
announced,
there
have
been
several
questions
raised
in
comparison
with
Delhi
Belly.
One
of
the
most
common
questions
was
that
how
the
film
could
be
remade
in
Tamil
without
any
cuss
words
and
adult
one-liners,"
he
said.

Settai
"You
can
see
that
even
before
we
started
filming,
such
questions
were
raised.
Such
is
the
plight
of
a
filmmaker
working
on
a
remake
and
this
is
very
unlikely
to
change,"
said
Kannan.
Settai
Kannan
faced
similar
situation
while
remaking
Jab
We
Met,
titled
Kanden
Kadhalai
in
Tamil.
"Bharath
who
played
the
lead
in
the
remake
had
starred
in
back-to-back
action
films
at
that
time.
The
consensus
feedback
was
how
I
could
cast
someone
who
was
busy
shaping
up
as
an
action
hero
to
play
a
lover
boy,"
he
added.
Settai
He
hopes
Settai,
releasing
Friday,
doesn't
get
compared
with
the
original.
"It's
not
a
frame-to-frame
copy
of
the
original.
I
have
developed
the
story
based
on
the
friendship
between
the
three
friends.
I
hope
people
won't
compare
it
with
Delhi
Belly,"
said
Kannan.
