`Jithan' Ramesh

CHENNAI: `Madurai Veeran' is one of the successful films of the late MGR. Now A. Sayeed is producing a film with the same name for S. K. Pictures with `Jithan' Ramesh in the lead.

Director R. K.Vincent Selva, who introduced Ramesh in the film `Jithan,' is now joining hands with the star for the second time. Will they click?

``Sure'', the director says, adding "let me clarify that the film has no connection with the old `Madurai Veeran'.

In the old film, the lead actor will lose his hands and legs for his ladylove." But in this new film, lead actor Ramesh, whose other films include `Madhu' and `Jerry', will not hesitate to take away hands and legs of any person for the sake of love.

It is about youth attraction. Saloni, who has acted with Salman Khan in a Hindi film, will play the female lead role.
