Rajavinte Makan', the cult film that made Mohanlal a household name and a superstar in Malayalam, is all set to be remade.
Apparently, remaking yesteryear super hits is a popular trend among Malayalam film makers these days. After the recent success of Neelathamara, a remake of the 1979 Malayalam classic with the same title, Rajavinte Makan (1986) could be the next to be remade!According to sources, director Thampi Kannanthanam and script writer Dennis Joseph, makers of the original movie, had a discussion last Friday with Mohanlal's favourite producer Antony Perumbavoor and the team has reportedly decided for a remake.
In all probability, the pooja will be held on July 16. To be produced under the banner of Ashirwad Films, the remake will have Suresh Gopi reprising his role of the original version.
An adaptation of Rage of Angels (1983) by Sidney Sheldon, Rajavinte Makan revolves around Vincent Gomas and a group of underworld goons in Kerala. He is cheated by a politician (Ratheesh) and seeks revenge.
The 1986 film, written by Dennis Joseph and directed by Thampi Kannanthanam, would be remade with the same cast and crew, it is learnt. The pooja of the remake is scheduled to take place on July 16.
Though it was speculated that a sequel to the blockbuster was on anvil, the filmmakers and Mohanlal have settled for a remake, says our source. The racy gangster film with razor sharp dialogues had Mohanlal at his best; he was ably supported by a cast including Ratheesh, Suresh Gopi, Ambika and Adoor Bhasi.
Some of the dialogues by Vincent Gomas (a don, played by Mohanlal) in the film such as "Manassil Kuttabodham Thonnikkazhinjaal Cheyyunnathellam Yaanthrikamaayirikkum," "My Phone Number is Double Two Double Five," and "Orikkal Raaju mon ennodu chodichu. Uncle nte Achante Perenthanennu. Njaan paranju. My father is a king. I am the prince. Raajaavinte Makan" are very popular even now.
