Katha Parayumbol, the Malayalam super hit starring Mammootty, is being remade in Tamil as Kuselan starring Rajni, Pasupathy, Nayan and Meena. It is also being remade in Telugu as Kathanayakudu with the same cast except Pasupathy being replaced by Jagapathy Babu the Telugu version. The Hindi remake, Billo Barber, stars Shah Rukh Khan and Irrfan Khan.
And now, this eternal tale of friendship is all set to be remade in Kannada too. Ramesh Aravind will direct the flick; Komal, a popular Kannada comedian, has been approached for Jagapathy’s role.
Director Ramesh confirmed in an interview: “Yes, I’ve been approached by the Kuselan producers to remake the film in Kannada. A lot of details are yet be finalized, but I’ll be making an announcement soon. However, if Komal doesn’t have the dates, I might just play the barber’s role in an unglamorous avatar.”
He also said that the movie will be produced by Seven Arts (the same banner that produced Kuselan), who approached him for the Kannada remake. The actor has made preliminary trips to Coorg and Nandi hills to finalize locations for the shoot.
