'Thakara' and 'Itha Ivide Vare' will not be remade

Cochin, July.18 (NR): It was reported earlier that the Bharathan-Padmarajan classic 'Thakara' and the IV Sasi film 'Itha Ivide Vare' would be remade in Malayalam.

This was following the huge success that remakes like 'Neelathamara' and 'Rathinirvedam' saw at the box office.

However now Bharathan's wife KPAC Lalitha and Padmarajan's wife Radhalakshmi have made it clear that they will not be granting permissions to any more of their late husbands' films.

Lalitha has made it clear that since 'Thakara' and 'Itha Ivide Vare' are film that have already been perfectly made, they do not offer scope for remakes at all. She has asked new directors to remake less successful films from the past.
