Dil Raju to remake Maro Charitra?

Maro Charitra, starring Kamal Haasan and Saritha, was released in 1979. Directed by K. Balachander, Maro Charitra, which dealt with the love affair between a Tamil boy and a Telugu girl, was a super hit that year. Following the film’s stupendous success in Telugu, it was remade in Hindi as Ek Duje Ke Liye (Kamal Haasan-Rati Agnihotri) which also became a huge hit. Ilayaraja’s melodious tunes were one of the factors which propelled the movie to dizzying heights. Both the Hindi and Telugu versions�ran for an entire year in Hyderabad.

Now, noted filmmaker Dil Raju is thinking of reviving�and remaking Maro Charitra for�the new generation who are not�exposed to this legendary cult�film. Dil Raju�plans to make slight changes in the story to suit modern times; young heart-throb Varun Sandesh will be the hero. Bollywood cinematographer Ravi Yadav has been roped in to handle the camera.
