Devadarshini Chetan
and “Kalairani.” The film is the remake of Johnny Gaddar, scripted and directed by
Sriram Raghavan
. The teaser was released yesterday by
Mani Ratnam
. At the press meet, Prashanth said that when they made the film, “
Shock
,” none in Tamil touched the horror genre and similarly when they made Ponnar Shankar, none were doing the historical movies. Even “Baahubali” was made after seeing his Ponnar Shankar, which had a huge star cast, said Prashanth. He also said that they are the trendsetters. Johnny is produced by his father “
Thiagarajan
,” who will be next seen in a pivotal role in
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam
