Can Ajith's Kireedam match up?
The original film featured many simple family moments, like the mother cooking her son's favourite food without her husband's knowledge, and the seemingly hard father shedding a tear for his son when alone.
What is poignant in the film is the love and understanding between the father and the son. Thilakan as the father and Mohanlal as the son really created movie magic.
"In Tamil, we have only Raj Kiran who can do what Thilakan did in the original," Suresh Balaji said, about selecting the actor who gave a scintillating performance in Cheran’s Thavamai Thavamirundu.
