Most importantly, Namitha will not be the stereotype, revenge seeking ghost in the movie. Instead, she plays a girl, who, even after her death, comes back as a ghost and a sweet one at that!
In the movie, Namitha plays the role of a girl who enamours a prince by her beauty. But she dies, with the prince getting settled with another girl, played by Nila. How and why Namitha comes back to earth forms the crux. In the remake, Jothilakshmi plays Namitha’s mother.
“We did approach Jayamalini, the heroine of the original Jayamalini version, to play her mother but she refused the offer. However, Jothilakshmi has agreed to be Namitha’s mum,” the director added. With about 40 percent of the movie completed, it is slated for a December release.
And again, it won’t be the famous long, white robes for the ghost- Nams will be as sexy as ever, not giving up those skin huggers we’ve seen her in so long for being a ghost.
The director, NK Viswanathan, says, “Though Namitha was initially hesitant about doing the role, she enquired about her character’s portrayal, and how she would be looking as a ghost. When explained, she was completely awed and immediately agreed to do the job.”
Namitha’s introduction scene as a ghost will see her rising from the ocean. The scene will be shot at the Andamans next month, and in a new venture, it will be shot under water completely, facilitated by special equipment flown in from Mumbai.
All technicians who will shoot the scene will also be undergoing a week’s training for the same. For Namitha, it will be a very challenging session to shoot.
Though she will have an oxygen mask when under water, she will have to get rid of it when the shoot happens. Fighting breathlessness is sure a new test for Nams who has left her fans breathless with her glamour all along.
