Subramaniapuram to be remade in Hindi

[Monday, November 29, 2010]
Writer-director-actor M. Sasikumar's path-breaking Tamil film Subramaniapuram (also spelt as Subramaniyapuram), which earned well-deserved phenomenal success in 2008, will be soon remade in Hindi.

The Hindi version will be directed and produced by Anurag Kashyap of Dev D fame. There are reports that Vidya Balan will play Swathi's role in the Hindi version.

Set in Madurai of the early 1980s, Subramaniapuram revolves around five close friends led by Azhagar (Jai) and Paraman (Sasikumar); all five are unemployed and pass their time drinking liquor and fooling around in the streets. In the meantime, Azhagu and Tulasi (Somu's daughter) develop mutual romantic feelings for each other. Paraman is totally against his friend developing such feelings for any girl. What happens next leads to the climax.
