Bhoot, now in Tamil

rediff Entertainment Bureau | October 29, 2003 16:31 IST


Ram Gopal Varma's horror thriller Bhoot will now be remade in Tamil.

Starring, Prashanth and Simran, Shock will be directed by Thiagarajan, former actor and father of Prashanth.

Thiagarajan is known for his roles like Malayur Mammatiyan, and as the villain in Mammootty's New Delhi, which was based on the Irving Wallace book, The Almighty.

Prashanth, touted to be one of the young turks -- along with Ajit and Vijay -- who would take over from Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, fell by the wayside, with no big films in the last three years.


Simran, after breaking up with choreographer Raju Sundaram, having a rapidfire, and controversial, relationship with Haasan, and apparently readying to marry a Delhi-based businessman, is now cutting back on acting assignments.

She recently suffered the indignity of being thrown out of Mani Ratnam's Ayudha Ezhuthu (she had earlier acted in his Kannathil Muthamittal opposite Madhavan which, a couple of months ago, was the hightlight of the 26th Asian American International Film Festival in New York).

Ratnam's objection to Simran was that she did not know Tamil fluently. He then proceeded to cast Esha Deol, who is the daughter of Hema Malini, who reportedly talks Tamil at home with her daughters.

Ayudha Ezhuthu is being shot in both Tamil and Hindi. In Hindi, the film is called Yuva, and will star Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor and others. The Tamil version features Madhavan, Surya, Shaam, Meera Jasmine, Esha Deol and Trisha.

Ravi K Chandran is the cinematographer and A R Rahman the composer for both versions.

Bachchan Jr. replaced by Roshan Jr.?

Simran getting the cut because she don't speak Tamil fluently. I doubt Meera Jasmine speak any Tamil at all. :baaa:

Are you ready for a `Shock`?

Thursday, 22 April , 2004, 10:35


Ramgopal Varma’s Bhoot was a horror film that left the audience petrified and sleepless for several nights. Now actor Prashanth’s father Thyagarajan is producing and directing Shock, a remake of Bhoot with his son as the hero.

The film has astonishing visual effects and stunning background score. It is the story of Satya (Prashanth) who moves with his wife Sumi (Meena) into their new rented home on the 12th floor of a plush apartment complex in Chennai.

Satya has chosen to live in this house despite the real estate broker warning that the previous occupant had jumped to her death. He is not too hassled by this revelation,but keeps it a secret from his wife.

Eventually Sumi wanders around the house at night and strange things start happening to her. The film has an impressive star cast of Suhasini, K.R.Vijaya, Sharat Babu, Abbas and Thyagarajan. Music is by Saleem Sulaiman and camera is by M.V.Paneerselvam.

Said Thyagarajan: “Shock will definitely give a new dimension to horror films in Kollywood”.

And the big news is that after the release of this thriller, Prashanth is all set to tie the knot!

I'm not much into horror, but I like the films of George Romero. Bhoot wasn't scary at all. I'm disappointed its being remade.

I dont know why ppl remake movies like these. Hindi movies went thru' a period of scary movie, and it is vulgar (Hawas, Murder, Jism.. all inspired by Unfaithful) and now bhoot... I am sure it is going to be another blockbuster flop for Prashant.

I just finished seeing Kunji Konan, a malayalam movie. The Tamil version is Perazhagan, starring Surya. After this movie, Surya's ranking will go high. Its an excellent movie. After long time, we are going to see a movie with story.

KunjiKonan is an absolutely hilarious mallu movie. Dileep is amazing as the hunchback. I wonder how Surya will do in this role. Even with the subtitles the jokes will go over your head if you dont understand little bit malayalam. For those who are interested the dvd is of ok quality, released by RAFA.
