He ruled Tamil Cinema for almost a generation. Yes, we are talking about the legendary M G Ramachandran, whose magic will be created again with an animation flick named ‘Puratchi Thalaivan’.

Recently, the thespian’s old movies like ‘Nadodi Mannan’, ‘Aayirathi Oruvan’ and ‘Ulagam Suturam Valibhan’ released with a new look. And all the movies were successful at the box office.

It has been more than two decades since the legendary actor passed away. Now, director Venky Babu is all set to revive the charm of the mega star in a 3D animation film. The movie named ‘Puratchi Thalaivan’ (Revolutionary Leader) will feature MGR as the hero of today’s generation.

In fact, ‘Puratchi Thalaivan’ is another name given to MGR. The film promises to present MGR unique mannerisms and style well suited to present time.

This animation flick is produced by Sridevi Rao of Mayabimbham Media. Their first animated project was ‘Inimey Naangathan V4’, which came last year. ‘Inimey Naangathan V4’ was made in a budget of Rs 4 crore, whereas the makers this time are thinking to make it in a big and lavish way.

The film’s trailer is planned to be showcased on January 17th that is on MGR’s birthday. But the film’s heroine is not finalized yet. Now it remains to be seen whether it will be Shriya Saran , Trisha or Nayantara or yesteryear actresses like Jayalalitha, Saroja Devi, or Latha?

MGR returns to Silver Screen

Today early morning when I opened my In box two mails – MGR Fans Siva Shanmugam and Dubai K.P.Ramesh has forwarded these url’s to me. A Happy News to MGR Devotees and MGR Fans, MGR to star in a brand new film.

This is from India Glitz website:

One of the most popular movie stars Tamilnadu has ever seen MGR is making a comeback to films. It would be an animation flick from the stables of Mayabimbham Media (P) Ltd who had earlier made the 3D film ‘V4’.

The 3D film starring MGR has been titled ‘Puratchi Thalaivan’. The producers of the film have said that MGR had last performed in the film ‘Maduraiyai Meeta Sundara Pandiyan’ and proudly proclaim that they are bringing him back to the silver screen after all these years.

‘Puratchi Thalaivan’ would be directed by Venky Baboo and produced by Sridevi Rao. A team of 3D animators would indulge themselves in the job of recreating the magic of MGR on screen.

One wonders who the animated heroine of the film would be. Would it be Saroja Devi or Jayalalitha. Who knows….the think tank behind MGR might prefer newer heroines like Trisha, Shriya or Nayantara.

This is from The Hindu:
