Vasantha Maligai to be re-released

After the super success of the digitally restored version of Karnan, Sivaji Ganesan���s 1972 romantic hit Vasantha Maligai is all set to be re-released all over Tamil Nadu on December 7. The film, directed by K S Prakash, had the Nadigar Thilagam playing a love-struck rich man with Vanisree playing the female lead.
The film was a superhit when it released and celebrated its silver jubilee not just in theatres in Tamil Nadu but in Sri Lanka as well. The film is now being re-released after colour correction and digital restoration in cinemascope format. The tragic romance is a remake of the Telugu film Prem Nagar (also remade in Hindi) and its influence could even be felt in Kamal Haasan���s 1982 hit Vazhve Maayam.
The film is being released by distributor Srinivasan, who had earlier re-released the actor���s Gowravam which was met with warm response at the box office.
