The character of Mohan Lal in Malayalam version of ‘Drishyam’ has served a good deal of inspiration for Venkatesh and Ravichandran in Telugu and Kannada versions respectively. Now when the time has come for Tamil version to take a shape, selection of Kamal Hasan for the lead role is a superb choice and Gauthami as female lead in place of Meena is also apt.
Titled as ‘Papanasam,’ the film has got first stills released and Kamal is authentic as a middle class family man. ‘Drishyam’ is a proven script which will be a sure shot hit any where made in any language. The film speaks more on emotion, sentiment elevated with performances and a gripping screenplay. As of now, Kamal is oozing new life to the role just like what Mohan Lal did. Let us wait for more updates on ‘Papanasam.’
