Raghava Lawrence has confirmed that he will be remaking Thalaivar Rajinikanth's cult classic 'Moondru Mugam'. In a post shared on his Facebook page, the actor wrote, "I friends and fans! I need all your blessing. I would like to share a happy news with you all. I will be remaking #Superstar's #MoondruMugam." He added, "Personally I am a big Rajini sir fan. I have watched 'Moondru Mugam' in theatre as a fan and I have whistled. I am happy that I would be remaking the film now. I am starting this films with Superstar's blessing."
He said that he met and discussed with the Thalaivar, his decision to reprise the iconic triple role. Raghava added that Rajini was very happy for him. Reports suggest that work on the script has already been started with a few tweaks to be made on the original to suit the taste of contemporary Tamil audience. He will produce the film along with S Kathiresan.
After finalising the script, Raghava will zero in on a director to helm the film. Raghava, meanwhile, is awaiting the release of 'Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva.' It is worth mentioning that Thala Ajith starred in 2007 gangster film 'Billa,' a remake of Rajinikanth’s 1980 blockbuster movie of the same name. The success of the film redefined his stardom in the industry, which was on a shaky ground at the time..
