The film stars Rajinikanth, Sripriya and Balaji. Krishnamoorthy and produced by Suresh Balaje. Since the movie’s gonna start rolling in March 2007, thala will probably be singing My Name is Billa… for Diwali ’07.Billa is a 1980 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by R. And Pooja might be a good choice for the Isha Koppikar role. He is one of the few supporting characters who can pull off a policeman role convincingly. I’m just hope that none of our usual, overacting supporting actors like Karan or Sriman get cast in the key role! Prakashraj is an automatic choice for the K.Balaji/Boman Irani cop role. But considering Prabhu’s recent choice of roles, he might be in the running too. If egos don’t get in the way, Maddy might be a good choice for the ‘Thengai’ Srinivasan/Arjun Rampal role. Just depends on whether she’d agree to do another item number. So maybe Ileana? But Nayan would be perfect for the Helen/Kareena role – a special appearance where she gets a nice seductive dance number. I can’t imagine any of them being convincing executing martial arts moves or riding a bike. I’m not sure any of our 3 leading heroines (Trisha, Asin and Nayan) can carry it off. The heroine here is the strong and silent type and needs to kick(or atleast, seem as though she is capable of kicking) some butt. I think the heroine role will be the toughest to cast. Now, I’m curious about the rest of the cast.
And Yuvan’s thumping, high-energy score for Pattiyal proved that he can provide the perfect score for Vishnuvardhan’s stylish filmmaking. Pattiyal has convinced me that Vishnuvardhan is one of the more stylistic directors around and he is capable of providing the stylish look that a remake will require, to differentiate it sufficiently from the original. And the effeminate behavior he exhibited so well in Varalaaru, if toned down, can help him in the role of the paan-chewing, roadside dancer. Ajith can definitely play the cool, suave and ruthless Billa well. These choices do make me have high hopes about the project.
#Billa 2007 in hindi movie
Some new characters and twists are introduced and though they make the screenplay complicated and a tad confusing, they do make the movie unpredictable – and so interesting – even for those who have seen the original.Īpart from Ajith, the other key persons currently attached to the ‘Billa 2007’ project are director Vishnuvardhan, the director of Pattiyal and Arindhum Ariyaamalum, and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja. So the red diary becomes a CD, the circus performer is now a computer expert, etc.
On the story side, the updates are done well considering the times and the technology advances. The action sequences are well-executed(though I did notice lifts from several Hollywood flicks) and green being the predominant color gives the film a cool, sophisticated look. It maintains a fast pace though it feels choppy at times as it shifts between different tracks. Like most Hindi films these days, Don is slick and stylish. I just watched Shah Rukh Khan’s Don and though I haven’t seen the original Don with Amitabh Bachan, I have seen Billa and so could make some comparisons. The producer has bought the rights of the original and Rajni too has given the go-ahead to Ajith (and shared his thoughts on the remake). Whew! So, in Visu style, the new Billa is going to be a remake of a remake, which was a remake of a film that was recently remade!). It now seems official that Ajith will be starring in the remake of Rajni’s Billa (which, btw, was a remake of Amitabh Bachan’s Don, which, incidentally, was recently remade into a new Don starring Shah Rukh Khan. The trend of remaking old classics has finally started in Tamil cinema too. The movie is produced by Ananda Suresh and directed by Vishnu Vardhan. The other contenders for the role are Thamiraparani Banu and Reema Sen.īilla’s shoots will commence from February. Sources state that Shreya could lose the opportunity if she shows no interest in slashing her paycheck. However, Shreya’s market has skyrocketed ever since she starred in Sivaji and her paycheck is scraping the borders of Rs. Shreya stands a better chance this time since Trisha has already been roped in for Ajith’s next Kreedom. News has it that Trisha and Shreya are eyeing the hot spot and are in constant contact with the crew. Though Nayanthara has been finalized for the role done by Praveena, the other role is yet to be taken. The late 80s hit which starred Rajini, Praveena, and Sripriya will be remade with Ajith in the lead. Looks like there is stiff competition between the lead ladies of Tamil cinema to be cast in the remake of old Rajini hit Billa, which is titled Billa 2007.
