When remakes and remixes appear to be the order of the day, there is one more film which is slated to be made in Tamil borrowing inspiration from a different language. This time the source of import is from Malabar and the film is Chhota Mumbai which was a giant grosser in Mollywood featuring Mohan Lal and Bhavana.
Reliable sources reveal that this film had become the focal point of many of the bigwigs of Kollywood and there was stiff competition among them to remake this film in Tamil.
It was said that Ilaya Thalapathy watched this film and had evinced his keen interest to remake in Tamil. Meanwhile Chhota Mumbai was also watched by Vishal, Sathyaraj and a few producers. Kollywood grapevine divulged that Sathyaraj was too anxious about his son Sibiraj doing this film and as per his wish, Sibi will be donning the role which was played by Mohanlal in Malayalam. The title of the film, director and producer are yet to be firmed up.
