Can Ajith's Kireedam match up?
It is an ideal, happy home. A police constable father, a mother devoted to her husband and children, an elder son waiting for the final interview to be inducted as a police inspector, and studious younger children. The father dreams of the day he can salute his son.
Everything goes awry when the father gets transferred to a new posting. When the elder son happens to see his father being hit by a goon, he jumps in and gets entangled in a street fight, for the first time in his life. The assailant is badly wounded, and that is the first time anyone in the village has stood up to the goon. Villagers hail the son as the next big hoodlum. Unwittingly, he gets involved in many more street fights and soon his name gets listed as one of the most wanted hoodlums.
This is the story of one of Mohanlal's most loved Malayalam films, Kireedam. Now, it's being remade into Tamil by his brother in law Suresh Balaji, with Ajith in the lead. With Kireedam, Adlabs enters the Tamil film world.
The original Kireedam was a film full of pathos, unforgettable moments and amazing performances -- by Mohanlal as Sethu, Thilakan as his father and Kaviyoor Ponnamma as his mother.
Mohanlal's performance was so heart-wrenching that even today, 18 years after the film was made, both young and old still talk about it. The film won the actor his first National Award in the form of a Special Jury award.
The film was such a huge success that producer Unni was christened 'Kireedam Unni'.
This was one of the first successful Lohitadas scripts, with his f
avourite theme of individuals getting dragged into situations for no fault of theirs -- in Thaniyavarthanam, Bharatam and many more of his films, destiny plays a major role in the lives of the protagonists. Situations arise in such a manner that his characters become just pawns in the hands of a power that is beyond all human understanding.
In Kireedam, Sethu had no control over his life or his future. Director Sibi Malayil and Lohitadas created many such unforgettable films in Malayalam.
The Tamil Kireedam is directed by AL Vijay, onetime assistant to Priyadarshan.
The original film featured many simple family moments, like the mother cooking her son's
favourite food without her husband's knowledge, and the seemingly hard father shedding a tear for his son when alone.
What is poignant in the film is the love and understanding between the father and the son. Thilakan as the father and Mohanlal as the son really created movie magic.
"In Tamil, we have only Ravi Kiran who can do what Thilakan did in the original," Suresh Balaji said, about selecting the actor who gave a scintillating performance in Cheran?s Thavamai Thavamirundu.
The love track in the original between Mohanlal and Parvathi (Jayaram's wife) was quite understated and simple but in the Tamil, it has its strong points, Suresh Balaji told rediff.com. "We have to make changes in the presentation to suit the Tamil audience. The love track will be a little more strong, with songs," said the producer.
The Malayalam Kireedam did not have any songs except one in the background, Kannuneer poovinte sung by MG Sreekumar. It was with this song that Sreekumar became a name to reckon with, and the voice of Mohanlal.
The Tamil Kireedam soundtrack is by GV Prakash, AR Rahman's nephew who has had the impressive Veyil and Oram Po to his credit.
If Ajith?s Pongal release Aalkwar was a disaster, following the highly successful Varalaaru, he can take solace in the fact that he will now play a character that is extremely well written and
powerful.
With Ravi Kiran, capable of stretching any artist, opposite him, we can expect a solid performance from Ajith.
Even if the Tamil Kireedam is half as good as the original, Ajith can expect a winner on his birthday on May 1, when the film is scheduled to hit the silver screen.

All hell has broken lose in Kollywood after a Tamil daily reported today (Feb 6) that Ajit has been hospitalized due to a severe backpain that may have affected his spine!
According to the report Ajit was in Visakhapatanam shooting for an action scene for Suresh Balaji’s Kireedom when he collapsed due to severe backpain. The actor had to be rushed to the Vizag airport in an ambulance, flown to Chennai and immediately admitted to Apollo hospital.
But sources close to Ajit spoke to Sify.com from Vizag and clarified: “They are making mountains out of molehills. It is true that he had a backpain while we were shooting for the climax scenes. It is nothing serious as made out to be and he was never rushed to Chennai as the report says. He is actually flying to Chennai today (Feb 6) and taking rest for a few days and shooting will start as soon as possible in Chennai.”
Ajit had this recurring back pain since his racing days and it resurfaces periodically. He has already had nine operations on his back and the actor himself said sometime back – “Probably, I will have to live with it for the rest of my life”!

When filming a risky stunt sequence involving Ajith at Visakhapatnam for Kireedom, a mishap occurred and resulted in severe injury for Ajith.
The actor, who volunteered to do the stunt sequence himself and turned down employing a dupe for the sequence, complained of severe back pain after doing the shot, which required him to jump from the top of a car. The actor’s agonizing pain resulted in the shooting coming to a standstill and Ajith was immediately brought to Apollo Hospitals in Chennai through an aircraft.
It can be recollected that Ajith has undergone a back surgery earlier, due to the injuries that he sustained when he was active in racing.
Due to this unfortunate accident, the shoot of Kireedom has temporarily been halted.
We are sorry about this incident and we at indiaglitz wish Ajith a speedy recovery.

Agonized Ajith in Apollo!
The back pain that had lain dormant has surfaced again and put Ajith in great agony.
Ajith has been greatly affected by an accident during Ajith has been greatly affected by an accident during motorcycle racing. For that spinal cord injury, he has been operated on 9 times. For those baulk at just one surgery, Ajith is a great example of a phoenix rising again and again.
During the shooting of 'Red' and 'Citizen,' Ajith continued to shoot with a doctor by his side. The medication he was on made him put on weight. When the media went to town criticizing him for being fat, he went on a strict regimen, lost 18kgs and became his old self again.
In spite of undergoing so many physical difficulties, Ajith continued to do risky shots without using a dupe. He did his stunt shots recently for 'Kireetam' in Visakapatnam.
Despite the director urging him to have a dupe, he did his own stunt of jumping from a car. This has awakened the old back pain and an agonized Ajith was flown to Chennai and admitted in Apollo. After 2 days of treatment, he's back in the shooting spot.
Unfortunately for him, he was again racked by back pain and a tormented Ajith was again brought by ambulance and flown to Chennai to be readmitted in Apollo Hospital. Following this, shooting has been cancelled. The director, actors and technicians have all returned to Chennai.
With grit and determination, Ajith sailed through 9 operations. We sincerely hope that he will surmount this 10th one too with the same confidence.
This is not the first time Ajith will be surmounting difficulties.
