Bommarillu was a much talked about film in Tollywood and was a blockbuster hit there. The film in fact earned much acclaim for its neat storyline and performance by its lead cast.

Its success has made Jeyam Raja to remake the same in Tamil with his brother Ravi doing the role of Siddharth, who was a revelation in the original version. But for the hero, most of the other characters are kept intact. Genelia and Prakash Raj play the same role which they played in the Telugu version.

Meanwhile it has been reported that in Santosh Subramaniam, Tamil Nadu cricketer Sadagopan Ramesh makes his entry as hero’s brother. Though in the original version, the role of hero’s brother is not too pivotal, in Tamil, it may not be the same as they have cast Ramesh.

Perhaps Raja has altered the script to accommodate Ramesh to whom the tinsel world is not new as he is already seen in many of the television shows. Santosh Subramaniam is being produced by Kalpathi Agoram whose last production venture Thiruttu Payale had earned positive response.
