As reported earlier Nivin Pauly is acting in the Tamil and Malayalam remake of the popular Kannada film Ulidavaru Kandanthe. Cinematographer turned actor Natraj, popularly known as Natty is reprising Kishore’s role in this remake. He plays a boat mechanic in this film helmed by debutant Gautham Ramachandran.
Apparently, the project which was tentatively titled as Santa Maria may be called as Avargal. Remember the classic K Balachander film Avargal which starred Superstar Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in the lead roles? However, the Malayalam version of this Nivin Pauly starrer will reportedly be called as Santa Maria. It is said that the Tamil title was changed for tax exemption purposes.
Meanwhile, Natty's other movie Bongu has been censored with a U certificate and it is gearing up for a December release.
