Vijay forced to remove MGR Film Title

July 12, 2010

The Malayalam film Body guard which had Dhilip and Nayanthara in the lead roles was directed by Siddique. This film is being remade in Tamil. Vijay and Asin are in the lead roles. Raj Kiran is donning an important role. Siddique is also directing the Tamil version.

They had planned to title the film as Kavalkaran which was the title of the yesteryear hit film of MGR. Kavalkaran is the film produced by Sathya Movies which had MGR and Jayalalitha in the lead roles in the year 1967. Sathya Movies have now objected to the use the title for Vijay film. Sathya Movies have written letter to the Producers Council in this regard.

In the letter it has been stated that,” There is news that the film in Vijay is acting is to be titled Kavalkaran. We have not given the rights to anyone. Hence it should not be permitted to use the title.”

Tamil Nadu Producers Council has also written to the producer of Vijay’s film. In the letter it has been stated,” While using the old title, the permission has to be sought from the concerned producer and also get a No Objection certificate. So in the absence of these, there is a rule in the Council that the title should not be used. Hence a fresh title should be used.”
Now the title of the film has been changed to Kaval Kadhal. (KT)

And now, the latest news is that she is fed up with politics and ready to quit them and back to movies soon. Already she has acted in a recent Telugu film ‘Golimaar’ and also acting as Vijay’s mother in a Tamil film titled ‘Kaavalkaran’.

The actress says “I faced a lot of problems in politics, and as I was always wandering between the Collectors Office and Police Station for the welfare of people I couldn’t look after my health properly. Though I do this much things to people, people prefer only those who do not do anything for them. Politics is male dominated and it is difficult for women to withstand. I have started to hate politics”.

She further adds “People interested in public welfare enter politics, but nothing can be done without political power. So I have decided to return back to cinema. I will continue to act in films in any roles that come my way. I am very happy to act as Vijay’s mother. Many new face actress are entering the cinema field, it’s a encouraging sign.
