Tamil remake

After wooing the Hindi speaking audience, UTV, the makers of Barfi! are toying with the idea of remaking the film in Tamil. According to sources, a top notch southern star has reportedly shown interest in the project. Said Disney-UTV Motion Pictures chief - South Business, "It is too early to talk about the remake of <em>Barfi</em>!. Although one of the leading heroes has expressed his interest to do the film and a good director has also agreed to make the film." Once the project is confirmed, the film will go on floors in February-March 2013, according to Dhananjayan.

If all goes well, Rajinikanth may enact the title role of God in the Tamil version of Oh My God (OMG). Of late, Ashwini Yardi, Akshay Kumar's business partner in Grazing Goat Productions, the co-producer of OMG that stars Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar, has been answering enquiries from filmmakers down South who were inquiring whether she was interested in selling the rights of the film.
