Madhavan in ' Charlie' remake

The Malayalam movie and Dulquer Salman starrer ' Charlie', released five years ago is to get a Tamil makeover. It will star Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath in the lead roles.

Titled ' Maara' in Tamil, the film which had its initial shooting schedule in January got blocked mid-way due to the Coronavirus pandemic. With the situation gradually easing, the producers are hopeful of taking it up and completing it at one shot, as of present. The pairing of the hero and the heroine is a repeat after their earlier success ' Vikram Vedha'.

Described as a ' tantalizing love tale' by the media, this film was a huge success in Kerala and beyond and has already been remade in Marathi. The original film had the mercurial heroine Parvathy sharing screen space with Dulquer, whose histrionics was noted and appreciated.
