Confusion regarding ‘A Wednesday‘
With no confirmation on the remake of A Wednesday or any other project, confusion reigns supreme, especially regarding the former.
UTV, which owns the rights for the movie, is in trouble. Kiran Koneru of Shreya Films has sued them claiming that they promised the Telugu and Tamil rights to him, but backtracked and sold it to Kamal. UTV responded by saying that they haven’t sold the rights to anyone. (An interesting aside is that JD Chakravarthy, assigned to direct the remakes, is an ardent fan of Kamal.)
On the other hand, the media has been reporting with great conviction that Mammootty was first asked to co-star but later Kamal settled on Mohanlal. Read reports from The Hindu, OneIndia (1 | 2 | 3), Sify.com, MSN, Webdunia, Vannathirai, IndiaGlitz, Behindwoods and KollywoodToday.com. As you read these, you will also see that some of them speculate that Thalaivan Irukkindraan is the name of the re-make!
Amidst this, fans direct prayers towards their ‘Aandavar‘, awaiting an announcement.
