Dhanush not to be a carbon copy

Dhanush says that he is the only suitable person to remake the super hit film of Rajinikanth. In his recent interview to an English daily, the actor elaborately spoke about his remake of Rajini's Maapillai.


He said, “I’m doing a remake of Rajinikanth’s Maapillai. The rights were purchased by producer Hitesh Jabak two years ago and Suraaj has come up with a modern script. The shoot will start shortly.


I met Rajinikanth not as his son-in-law, but officially as Dhanush the actor and got his approval to do the remake. Who better than me to do the remake?"

In his reply to another question related to Rajini, Dhanush replied, "I do not want to be a carbon copy of Rajinikanth. When it comes to Tamil cinema, there can be only one superstar. I go through my scripts with a fine comb and look carefully at the character. I do films that suit my image..!"

Meanwhile, Dhanush celebrated his birthday
quietly without any fanfare or celebrations on Tuesday (today) in Chennai.

Mappillai Dhanush

After Polladhavan and Padikkathavan, Dhanush is going to remake yet another superstar blockbuster Mappillai as his next project.


Mappillai was released 20 years before and it was one of the biggest blockbusters of Rajini, produced by Telugu mega star Chiranjeevi.


Now the new version is going to be directed by Suraaj and produced by Hitesh Jabak.

Dhanush remarked, "I have always loved to remake this film of Rajinikanth and I know that remaking old classics is not easy and by doing so, we are not disrespecting them. There are hundreds of youngsters who have not seen the old movie
. If the same story is presented in a different format with improved technology
, it will appeal to them.”
