Bejoy Nambiar to remake Mani Ratnam's Agni Natchathiram

26 Apr 2016

Director Bejoy Nambiar whose last cinematic release was the Farhan Akhtar - Amitabh Bachchan starrer Wazir that released in January this year has since moved onto his next. In fact we hear that Nambiar is currently working on two scripts and hasn't yet zeroed in on the one he intends on making first. "Right now I am working on two different scripts, but I am yet to decide which one I will commence work on first", adds Nambiar.

When quizzed whether one of the two scripts he is working on is a remake of the Mani Ratnam directed Tamil film Natchathiram , Bejoy adds, "Yes, it is in fact a contemporary remake of Mani Ratnam's films, but as I said I am still scripting the same so it's too early to discuss any details of the film." Though Bejoy remained tight-lipped about the project the original Agni Natchathiram that released in 1988 was a Tamil action-drama film directed by Mani Ratnam revolving around two half-brothers who come into conflict with each other in their claim for legitimacy as sons of a common father.
