Malayalam���s leading writer-director Ranjit, who was recently in the news for making Thirakkatha, a romantic story on the life and times of former actress Srividya, is all set to direct his first Tamil film. It is going to be a remake of his memorable Nandanam, which was the debut film of both Prithviraj and Navya Nair in Malayalam. The Tamil film will be produced by veteran producer Shogun Mohan and will have Prithviraj doing his original role and most likely, Priyamani will be his heroine in this musical love story.
The surprise element is going to be a cameo by Dhanush as a human avatar of Lord Krishna. The Tamil screenplay of the film is being written by writer and director Viji, who wrote the screenplay of Mozhi and also wrote and directed Vellithirai. The shooting will start in January 2009, after Prithviraj and Priyamani complete the shooting of Mani Ratnam���s Ravana.
