Director Kannan of Boomerang fame has acquired the Tamil remake rights for the hit Malayalam film, The Great Indian Kitchen, which was released last month on NeeStream. It is now known that the makers have approached Aishwarya Rajesh to play the lead in the remake. A source close to the film states that the actor is yet to sign the dotted lines, but is expected to do so soon.

The Great Indian Kitchen, starring Nimisha Sajayan and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead, is the story of a newly wed woman who struggles to be the submissive wife that her husband and his family expect her to be. The film opened to rave reviews.

Meanwhile, Kannan is awaiting the release of Thalli Pogathey, starring Atharvaa, Anupama Parameswaran and Amitash Pradhan. It is a remake of the Nani Nivedha Thomas Aadhi starrer Ninnu Kori. 

On the other hand, Aishwarya has films like Bhoomika, Thittam Irandu, and Driver Jamuna in various stages of development.
