Vamsi
Paidipally,
who
is
making
his
Tamil
directorial
debut
with
Karthi-Nagarjuna
starrer
Thozha,
has
explained
why
he
chose
to
remake
The
Intouchables,
a
French
classic
in
his
latest
interview
to
Times
of
India.
"This
movie
(The
Intouchables)
had
a
great
impact
on
me
and
I
felt
that
this
is
the
kind
of
film
which
could
be
adapted
to
our
audience.
The
movie
has
a
lot
of
French
sensibilities
and
I
knew
the
adaptation
has
to
be
made
keeping
our
audience
in
mind," he
has
said.
Attributing
the
possibility
of
making
the
film
a
Tamil-Telugu
bilingual
to
Karthi,
Vamsi
has
said,
"I
managed
'Thozha'
only
because
of
Karthi.
I
am
not
very
well
versed
with
Tamil.
I
knew
only
about
25
per
cent
of
the
language
when
I
started
working
on
the
project.
However,
I
can
now
understand
70
per
cent
of
Tamil.
Nag
sir
and
Tamannaah
also
made
my
job
easier."
When
asked
about
his
Kollywood
debut,
the
Telugu
film-maker
has
come
up
with
an
honest
answer,
"It
feels
good
to
make
debut
in
Kollywood.
Karthi
too
is
making
his
debut
in
Telugu
with
this
project.
Thozha
is
one
film
that
is
going
to
stay
close
to
me
even
after
a
long
time."
Terming
the
movie
"unconventional",
Vamsi
has
said
the
situations
are
usually
morbid
in
the
film,
"The
movie
is
very
unconventional.
The
situation
is
morbid,
but
the
atmosphere
is
hilarious.
I
went
with
that
one
line
for
the
movie
-
a
physically
impaired
billionaire
and
a
socially
disabled
slumdog."
Thozha
will
be
releasing
in
cinemas
next
Friday
(March
25th)
all
over
the
world.
The
film
is
likely
to
have
its
world
premiere
a
day
in
advance
on
March
24th.
The
movie
also
stars
Tamannaah,
Prakash
Raj,
Vivek
and
Jayasudha
in
prominent
roles.
While
Gopi
Sunder
has
composed
the
music,
PS
Vinod
is
already
being
appreciated
for
his
slick
visuals,
as
flaunted
in
the
recently
released
trailer.
