The south star is starring in a Tamil film which is a remake of a Shah Rukh hit.

Actor R Madhavan is currently busy with his under-production project titled Guru En Aalu which is a remake of the hit 1997 Bollywood film Yes Boss, directed by Aziz Mirza and starring Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Aditya Panscholi. Madhavan is essaying SRK’s role in the Tamil film.

“I’m quite excited to be a part of the remake. I thoroughly loved the film. Shah Rukh was amazing in Yes Boss. He had so much energy and was jumping here and there with so much ease. He was so charged up that he stood out in the film. It will be quite a task to match his efforts,” Madhavan told After Hrs.

Yes Boss narrated the story of Rahul, a middle-class youth with high ambitions of striking it rich in the corporate world. He’s seen quite willing to bend his ethics to prove his loyalty to his boss, Siddharth who he sees as his key to scaling the ladders of success. To please Siddharth, he has to do his dirty jobs like bringing girls for Siddharth to exercise his not insubstantial charms on.

The film reaches its climax when matters become complicated when Siddharth’s eyes fall on Seema, a girl Rahul secretly loves. Seema too wishes to take the shortcut to success by serenading a rich man. Initially she falls for Siddharth’s charms and even believes his sob stories when she comes to know he’s married. But then as his devious ways are revealed to her and she finds her heart being drawn to the simple Rahul, she seeks to escape from Siddharth’s clutches.

We quizzed Madhavan if the filmmakers are changing anything from the original plot.

“The story entirely remains the same but yes there are certain things that need to be changed to suit the south Indian sentiments. We have added a little more humour to the script. I guess people down here love lots of humour. Basically very minor things have been changed and the spirit of the original has been kept intact,” he says.

The film which has seen its release date being pushed back from 2007 is currently being directed by Selvah. Actors Mamta Mohandas, Abbas, Brinda Parekh and Vivek are also a part of the film.
