'Bommarillu' remake rights sold!

The remake rights of the Siddharth-Genelia starrer 'Bommarillu' was sold at a phenomenal price in Tamil.

It was love at first sight for Tamil actor Vijay. He had watched the film during a special screening that Siddharth held for his select friends in Chennai. Swargachitra Appachan, a reputed film maker in Malayalam, had bought the remake rights. The Tamil version is going to star Vijay in the lead.

You might remember Swargachitra Appachan from the 'Bangaram' fiasco. The producer had bought the remake rights of director Dharani's first Telugu film for an astronomical price only to discover 48 hours later that the film had crashed miserably at the box office.

Vijay had assured the producer that he would surely do a film for the producer. He is now starring in the Tamil version of 'Pokiri'. This one is for another producer, though.

The Tamil version of 'Bommarillu' will be his next film.
