Is 'Sura'- A Remake of Chota Mumbai? Is 'Sura'- A Remake of Chota Mumbai?

Is 'Sura'- A Remake of Chota Mumbai?


Ilayathalapathi Vijay's 50th Tamil film Sura, being directed by S.P. Rajkumar and produced by Sangili Murugan, is rumoured to be a remake of Malayalam super star Mohanlal's Chota Mumbai (2007), directed by Anwar Rasheed. But director S.P. Rajkumar has refused to reveal anything on the film’s storyline. Though Vijay still has a song to be completed for his forthcoming release Vettaikaran, he has already started working for Sura, being shot across the coastal areas of Kerala. Tamannaah is the heroine. Set in the backdrop of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry area, Chota Mumbai tells the story of a few happy go-lucky fishermen from Chotta Mumbai Street, headed by Vasco (Mohanlal), fondly called 'Thalai' by his mates. Chotta Mumbai was a film that cashed in on Mohanlal's superstar image; its aim was to entertain (meaning no social message was delivered).
