Shruthi Haasan in Kamal's Sigappu Rojakkal

Shruthi Haasan is said to be working in a remake of her father Kamal Haasan’s super hit movie ‘Sigappu Rojakkal’, and guess who’s directing it?

The original ‘Sigappu Rojakkal’ was directed by Bharathi Raja and sources say the modern version of the same story will be made by his son, Manoj. Getting to further details, sources reveal that Shakthi will play the hero alongside Shruthi.

While Shruthi is busy with her music career and Telugu projects, Shakthi is awaiting his release of ‘Aattanayagan’. All in all, looks like its generation next in Kollywood, with director Manoj and Shruthi working in one of the super hits, their respective fathers worked together.

Manoj narrates script to Ajith and Dhanush

After a brief stint with acting, Bharathiraja’s son Manoj is ready to call the shots as a director. While his remake of the yesteryear crime thriller Sigappu Rojakkal is underway, Manoj seems to have also readied an indigenous script.

He recently met Ajith and Dhanush to narrate the same script to discover their interest on the subject. While they were impressed with what they heard, both the actors have packed schedules for the whole of next year and hence expressed Manoj their inability to be a part of the project in the near future.
