Great choice for a remake and employing the same technicians makes it super-credible…

"Thoongavanam" - a blockbuster in the making!

I hope it is not too gritty and violent....Here's what one reviewer had to day about Sleepless night:

As the film critic Anthony Lane once observed, there’s nothing so exhausting as being goaded into a state of constant excitement. He wasn’t talking about “Sleepless Night,” but the shoe fits. Hectic and harebrained, this galloping French thriller tosses a potpourri of plot points — crooked cops, sleazy gangsters, stolen drugs and an underage hostage — into a packed-to-the-gills nightclub, and stirs. Repeatedly.

Shrugging off the need for a fully developed story, the director, Frédéric Jardin (who also contributed to the script), weaves a sticky web of special interests bound by blood and fistfights and dizzying double crosses. His spider is Vincent (Tomer Sisley), a corrupt police officer who must return the cocaine he nabbed from a vicious dealer in order to release his son from the dealer’s sweaty clutches. The exchange is complicated by a nosy Internal Affairs team, a labyrinthine location and a bleeding knife wound that thankfully proves irrelevant to Vincent’s pummeling ability.

Charging from one beating to another, wrenching diminishing returns from drunken camera angles and cat-and-mouse games, Mr. Jardin makes Vincent’s predicament as hollow as a sustained scream. As he elbows his way for the umpteenth time through a sea of gyrating bodies, he pulls the story’s moral and locational mazes into overlap, and, briefly, we see a glimmer of a more thoughtful film.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jardin fails to notice; he’s too busy mocking Pierre Cardin and lecturing the villains on free will. Be sure to exercise yours.

Approx half of the movie shooting will be completed by 17th June in Hyderabad and remaining will be shot in Chennai for another 40 days... In that case movie shooting will be completed by July end and get into Post production.. eppO release pannuvaagalaam ?

It will be gritty for sure, and going by KH's standards may be violent as well..

Yeah, It would be quite difficult to turn it into a box office hit because it will not appeal to a broad audience. Family types will not come in anywhere. It will not get a U certificate and with that the 30% tax exemption in TN will be lost.

KH has said that his portion will be over by August end and after 3 months preparation he will be ready for this next, Amar Hain /Thalaivan Irrukinran by January 2016. TV should release by end of this year unless they get into endless visual effects, in which case no one knows when it will release.

sir, all these points were applicable to VR also. So let us wait and see.

Come on guys .. box office analysis so quickly when the shooting just commenced !? Anyways, if the movie is top class, regardless of any impediments, it'll be a success. No this or that. So thoongavanam could be just that.

No, not like that. I was hoping for a bit more mainstream mass movie with some refinements only possible by KH. So a bit disappointed that it will have raw violence like how KP did in those days. VR was different -- the first 30 minutes was different from the rest of the movie and movie as a whole had a tried to explore the terrorist psyche with sub plots and emotions and some depth.

But anyway, as you say, let's wait and see.
