Mohanlal's "Oppam" has won critical acclaim as well as commercial success at the box office. As a result, makers of movies in other Indian industries are now ready to recreate the Malayalam film in other languages. The Malayalam superstar's earlier film, "Drishyam," was remade in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. Rumours are doing the rounds that many parties have come forward to acquire the rights of the film. In fact, Kamal Haasan is likely to star in the Tamil version of the flick.
Kamal Haasan had also starred in "Papanasam," the Tamil remake of "Drishyam."
Meanwhile, "Oppam" has turned out to be a big money spinner. The Malayalam movie has minted £1.26 million in seven days, thereby beating the first-week record of Nivin Pauly's "Premam," which had raked in £1.04 million. The movie, which won the hearts of the audience with its good content backed by brilliant performance by the key artistes, has given some much-needed success to director Priyadarshan. "Oppam" is a thriller produced by Antony Perumbavoor. It stars Mohanlal, Anusree, Samuthirakani, Vimala Raman and others.
