Ayyappanum Koshiyum was one of the biggest Mollywood blockbusters in 2020, and this mass masala entertainer featured Prithviraj Sukumaran and Biju Menon in the lead role. Shot from the exotic locales of Attappadi, the film narrated the story of a rich young man who lock horns with a police sub inspector. The movie was loaded with umpteen numbers of mass sequences, and upon release, critics called this movie a real ‘Clash of the Titans’.

Now, a Tamil remake of the movie is in its pre-production stage, and it will be produced by Kathiresan in the banner of Five Star Creations. Earlier, it has been reported that Sarathkumar and Sasikumar will be playing the lead roles in this film. But now, it has been confirmed that Karthi and Parthiban will play the roles of Prithviraj and Biju Menon respectively.

The shooting of this movie is expected to begin by the end of this year. A final decision on the start of the shooting will be made only after government decides to completely ease lockdown restrictions. An official announcement regarding the complete cast and crew of the movie will be finalised in the coming days.

As a Tamil remake is currently in its making stage, audiences are very eager to know whether this upcoming flick will do justice to the original. In the film, Prithviraj has played the role of Koshy, an alcoholic young man whose ego compels him to go against a sincere police officer.

Prithviraj has immortalised this role with his mesmerizing screen presence, and unique mannersisms, and his on-screen moments with Biju Menon was a treat to watch. Karthi, as we all know, is a brilliant performer, and he has that knack to portray characters similar to that of Koshy with perfection on screen.

The real hero in Ayyappanum Koshiyum was Biju Menon. His portrayal of Ayyappan Nair, a police officer with dual face was well-received by critics, and his transformation scenes were welcomed with applause by audiences in theaters.

In the first half of the movie, Biju Menon’s character has a subtle nature, but post the transformation, it became loud, and Ayyappan Nair starts dominating Koshy in all the proceedings. Considering the track record of Parthiban, we cannot imagine any other stars in Kollywood to portray such a challenging role on screen.
