TV team is already stating that there will be no super-sized action scenes, everything will be very realistic etc. When making an out and out Action movie, why not take some liberties and also reduce the one dimensional focus on violence only? Hope I am proved wrong.

Very doubtful...Just finished watching the original.....While the action is grounded and not too outlandish, there is a good amount of violence especially in certain sequences....Anything lesser than an U/A would be surprising and would warrant a serious watering-down of the original content......

Not sure if he should be restricted that way. Something like Kuruthipunal will be just fine ... VR despite the ban and the violence wouldn't have grossed as much if people didnt throng the theaters. Also doubt if its gonna be all meaning-less violence - he would not do it.

Personally will take this any day to UV's hiranya-naadagam. Sorry, just my preference.

@skv: Is thalaivan Irrukiran confirmed, is kamal not doing a quickie as previously stated?
For thoongavanam I guess we will have to wait, as long as it entertains and thrills that is what matters, also it was quickie...

^ From what I saw from the trailer, it looks like its going to be a faithful remake of the original. And they've got the same stunt director too if I am right.

@ramdas, guess it is very much happening based on latest maxim int with vetticad on doing double versions (Hindi/Tamil.)

Prolly prior to finalising, he'll shoot the moulee venture to keep thiru sisters at peace until he's ready for Amar Hain/TI shoot

I did not watch the original other than some extended snippets. I think TV will be more or less a straight copy of the original. His dress and craggy beard are all the same.

Kuruthi was quite cynical in its content...It might have run well in a few places but overall was not a big hit. My point is: Why not do an out and out commercial movie? With an interesting screenplay, it will be a super hit.

Anyway, I am not trying to jump the gun. I will wait till TV releases and comment after watching.
