Nivin Pauly to win Tamilian hearts with Kannada Remake

He will play the role of Richie under Theri director Atlee. The movie also has another Kannada connection as Shraddha Srinath of UTurn fame will be the female lead of the movie.

Ulidavaru Kandanthe was a turning point in the film career of Kannada actor Rakshit Shetty. The movie gave him some needed mileage, and there has been no looking back for him ever since.

So, will the remake of Ulidavaru Kandanthe in Tamil give the requisite boost in Tamil Nadu to Nivin Pauly?

After all, Mollywood's Dulquer Salman and Prithviraj also have made movies in Tamil but have not become the heartthrobs of Kollywood yet.
