The Tamil remake will be directed by R.Kannan, who was an one-time associate to Maniratnam and wielded the megaphone for the recent hit movie 'Jeyam Kondan' starring Vinay and Bhavana in the lead roles.
Bollywood's popular music director Pritam has been introduced to kollywood by Moser Baer for the music of the Tamil remake of 'Jab We Met'. Pritam is the music composer for 'Jab We Met' in Hindi and all the songs were hits topping the music charts last year.
The flick will have Bharath and Tamanna Bhatia in the lead roles. Both the actors are currently busy doing their other projects. The filming would commence in January 2009.
Jab We Met, a simple, romantic comedy film in Hindi starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, which released last October was proved to be a super hit movie and owing to its huge success, it would now be remade by the corporate entity Moserbaer in four south Indian languages(Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam).
With quality movies made by Moser Baer, who is also currently producing 'Poo', 'Aval Peyar Thamizharasi' among others, there is a scope for expecting the inane movies to become a thing of past. The critically acclaimed 'Raman Thediya Seethai' by Moser Baer stands as a testimony to it.
