Variety Frames believes in remakes. So after "Kadhal Kirukkan" the banner is busy with its next production "Girivalam," a borrowed version of the Bobby Deol starrer, "Humraaz." Shaam, Richard and Tanu Rai are the lead players.

The film ought to work wonders for Shaam — a dancer in the film with negative shades to his character.

"A very powerful role," describes a unit hand. Shaam who was hurt during the shooting of a fight sequence for the film, has been advised bed rest. Once he is up and about the film should be completed, because only a couple of songs and a fight have to be canned.

"Girivalam" should help Richard too. The actor who has had no release after the disastrous debut in "Kadhal Virus" could be back in circulation after "Girivalam." Director Shivraj made quite an impression with "Adidhadi" that had Satyaraj as the hero. He is now directing "Girivalam."
