Actor-director Thiagarajan's pet-project Mambattiyan, which has his son Prashanth, is all set to rock the screens today (December 16, 2011). Mambattiyan is not just another remake, for the screenplay has been modified to attract today’s audiences; it is grander than the original and many desires that remained unfulfilled while making the original have been realized in this remake.

In Mambattiyan, Prashanth appears in a never-seen-before get up. For the first time he pairs up with Meera Jasmine, who reprises the role of Saritha in the original. Mumaith Khan plays the part played by Jayamalini. Veteran actor-producer Thiagarajan takes care of the film’s direction, production, story, screenplay, dialogues and art direction! Cinematography has been given great importance in this remake and Rajeev Menon’s associate Anil Shekar has taken care of it very competently.
