The digitally remastered version of
actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan's critically-acclaimed 2001 Tamil film
"Aalavandhan" is all set to be released soon, a source said.
"Plans are underway for the film's re-release. Following its terrific
reception at Fantastic Fest in the US last year, its local distributor
has decided to bring it to Indian cinemas again. It has been digitally
remastered," a source close Kamal told IANS.
On Saturday, a leading Tamil daily published the poster of
"Aalavandhan", and hinted that it's hitting the screens soon.
Written by Kamal and directed by Suresh Krissna, the film is a
psychological thriller which tells the story of Vijay Kumar (Kamal), a
Commando and his twin brother Nandu, a psychopath suffering from
schizophrenia.
Although a box-office dud, the film gained cult status over the years.
The film was lauded for its narrative style, especially his use of
animated action.
Quentin Tarantino openly acknowledged that the animated violence in
"Aalavandhan" inspired the Manga-style action in his "Kill Bill" films.
The film, which was dubbed and released in Hindi as "Abhay", also
features Manisha Koirala and Raveena Tandon.
