The Malayalam movie Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, which released last year, turned out to be one of the biggest hits in Mollywood. Following its box office success, the film is now all set to be remade in Tamil and Telugu. The remake will be directed by debutant Hemanth and Anaswara Rajan will be reprising the role she had done in the original.
