It is known that Prashanth is playing the lead role in the remake of his father Thiyagarajan's mega hit 'Malayur Mammattiyan'. The remake version features Meera Jasmine playing his ladylove. She will don the role enacted by Saritha in the original.

Prakashraj, Vadivelu among others will be in the cast. To be produced and directed by Thiyagarajan himself, the movie would go to the floors very soon.

What is unknown is that plans are on to remix the popular number 'Kattu Vazhi Pora Ponnu' (set to tunes by Ilayaraja) from the original version for the remake. The song was a huge craze then. Set to tunes and sung by Ilayaraja himself, it topped all charts during that era.
