Kanden Seethaiyai (1996 film)

Kanden Seethaiyai is an unreleased 1996 Tamillanguage Indian feature film directed by Balachandra Menon, starring Kamal Haasan in the lead role. The film is a remake of Balachandra Menons own Malayalamlanguage hit film, Ammayane Sathyam released in 1993.

Balachandra Menon had initially prevented Bhagyaraj from remaking the 1993 Malayalam original into a project titled Veetla Visheshanga, intending to makie the film himself.Raveendran Wig Maker Ravi was an assistant to Sivaji Ganesan for many years and Sivaji decided to make Raveendran, a film producer and he asked Kamal Haasan to do the remake of this Malayalam film and Kamal obliged. Sivaji was interested in playing the police officer character as he had already done Thaaiku Oru Thaalaattu in 1986 for Balachandra Menon, but his other film commitments did not allow that and he asked SP Balasubramanyam to take that role. The team initially approached Annie, who starred in the original to reprise her role as the lead female character, though her reluctance meant that the team picked newcomer Ruchita Prasad, who adopted a stage name of Jayasandhya. ........
