    Yuvan Shankar Raja's new film - "Billa" with Ajit

    Ajit -The new `Billa`!

    By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 03 December , 2006, 17:08
    It's official! Ajit will be doing the remake of Billa, that Rajnikanth action classic of 1980. The film will be directed by Vishnuvardhan the young, hot& happening director of Kollywood and produced by veteran distributor L.Suresh of Ananda pictures.

    So the remake syndrome has hit Tamil cinema also. Remember that it has become a fashion in Bollywood to remake old classics. Recently Shahrukh Khan did Don a remake of that old Amitabh Bachchan film with the same name. And by sheer coincidence Rajni’s Billa was a remake of the same Don!

    Veteran producer K.Balaji had made Billa with Rajnikanth in his first double role along with Sri Priya, Thengai Srinivasan, Major Sounderrajan and Helen, directed by R.Krishnamoorthy. It was a film that made Rajni a mass action hero (see pic) and he was crowned the superstar on its release day-January 26, 1980!

    Vishnuvardhan had in fact had this idea of remaking the film much before Farhan Akhtar even thought about it and had approached few superstars two years back. But no one was confident about doing a Rajni hit as they thought that comparisons will be far too many! Ajit had the guts not only to do the film but is gung-ho about the project. And now after Varalaaru has become a super hit, he wants to do something different and is taking it up as a challenge.

    It seems that Ajit met the superstar who advised him to go ahead with the project. L.Suresh the producer who will be doing the film after Ajit completes Kireedom has brought the remake rights from K Balaji. Suresh also encouraged Ajit by saying that the curiosity and title value will make a lot of people go and watch the new Billa giving it an extraordinary opening.

    Vishnuvardhan is all excited about the film and has started writing the script of the film which will be shot slickly. Vishnu is sure to give the film a modern updated, technically far superior Billa which will work magic with the audiences. He made it clear that he will not be deviating much story wise from its original.

    Nirav Shah the cameraman who has won a lot of critical acclaim for the recent Dhoom-2 will be the cameraman and Sreekar Prasad will be the editor. Vishnu’s close buddy Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director. They are planning to remix two of the original songs written by Kannadasan with M.S.Viswanathan’s music. The all-time favourite Rajnikanth introduction song My name is Billa… sung by SPB and Vethialaya Pottendy… sung by Malaysia Vasudevan will be retained in the new Billa.

    Ajit’s Billa will start rolling sometime in March 2007 and promises to be a racy, peppy and ultra stylish entertainer.

    All the best for U1 whose combination with Vishnu always clicks with innovation and good music.

    Oh no! not remixes again from Yuvan. But I guess he doesn't have any other options

    Nirav Shah is the cameraman of Dhoom2??? haven't watched the film yet, but from the promos I think he has done a wonderful job.

    yaravadhu poi yuvankitta sollungappa. intha remixa avaroda fans virumbalannu. we liked the intial remix attempts. because he was tried for new things. nobody in the industry used remix. so thats fine. but now everybody is using remix. So u1 should not do remixes.

    YSR is working backwards in the remix game. First he did some IR tunes, now some MSV tunes. When will he remix a G. Ramanathan song?

    Not to mention the sample of MKT in Theepidikka from AA...

    "நான் ட்யூன் செய்தேன்" என்று சொல்லிக்கொண்டு காப்பி அடிப்பதை விட ரீமிக்ஸ் செய்வது மேல்

    குறைந்த பட்சம் ஒரிஜினல் கம்போஸருக்கு க்ரெடிட்டாவது கிடைக்குமல்லவா?

    enna oru uyarndha karuthhu.... ........these days, whoever copies will get caught big time.......al composers know this.......so no composer will tell out proudly that its his song, if he had copied....

    i guess, its high time U1 stops remixes......he should tell a NO to these guys.......if he can give albums like PV - wats the need for remixes?

    <<<<<

    endha pAttayum uruvalai...he just had taken the love theme and used it in the theme score. While that motif was a note by note copy, the whole theme wasn't copied. There are more motifs in the 7G theme that (as far as I know ) are original.

    these days, whoever copies will get caught big time
    அய்யா மாடி,

    யாருங்க பிடிச்சு தண்டனை கொடுக்கறது? சமீபத்தில் நடந்த ஏதாவது ஒரு சம்பவம் சொல்லுங்க பார்ப்போம்

    வேறு சில கேள்விகள்:

    1. உருவான பாடல் உரிமை யாருக்கு? ( தயாரிப்பாளருக்கு என்றால், 'விடிய விடிய நடனம்' மெட்டை ஷிவா 2006'ல் உபயோகிக்க, ராசா அந்த தயாரிப்பாளரிடம் அனுமதி பெற்றாரா? அதே போல் 'ஆனந்த ராகம்' மெட்டும்...)

    2. காப்பி அடித்ததை எதிர்த்து நீதி மன்றம் போனால், எந்த அடிப்படையில் காப்பியா, இல்லையா என்று தீர்மானிப்பது? மெட்டா, அல்லது பின்னணி இசையா? பாடல் வரிகளா? தாளமா? இடையில் வரும் இசையா? சின்ன சின்ன மாற்றங்கள் செய்து மறைத்திருந்தால், காப்பி வாதம் செல்லுமா?

    3. பாடலின் உரிமை எவ்வளவு காலத்துக்கு? (பாரதி வரிகளை எல்லோரும் இலவசமாக உபயோகிக்க முடியும்...ஜி ராமனாதன் மெட்டுக்களும் அப்படித்தானா? பாக்? பீதோவன்? தியாகராஜர்?)
