The highly anticipated Tamil remake of last year's Malayalam hit How Old Are You has been titled 36 Vayadhinile. The film marks actress Jyothika's comeback after seven years.
"The film's story revolves around a middle-aged woman. Hence, the makers have felt 36 Vayadhinile would be the apt title. Ironically, Jyothika is 36-year old," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
Helmed by Roshan Andrews, who directed the original, the film is produced by actor Suriya under his home banner 2D Entertainment.
Suriya was one among the few who chose the title.
"Suriya sir along with the director zeroed in on the title. They spent lot of time contemplating on the title," the source said.
The film, which is slated to release in April, also features Rahman, Abhirami and Sanjay Bharati in pivotal roles.
Suriya has already bought the remake rights of the film in other Indian languages as well.
