Many years ago, a movie named 'Jaganmohini' rocked Tamilnadu resulting in box office collections setting new records. The film was produced and directed by Vittalachariya. And now Murali Cine Arts is trying to recreate the same magic by remaking the film and the same title has been retained.

The story of the film is set about 300 years ago and actress Namitha would play a girl who specializes in pearl hunting. So, most of her scenes in the film would be in and around water. Something her fans would simply love.

The film also features Nila as the princess of another country and a popular Telugu hero Raja plays the protagonist. Interestingly, the hero of the earlier 'Jaganmohini', Narasimharaj plays the hero's father.

Plans are on to shoot underwater scenes near the Andamans and hi-tech cinematic technology is expected to be used. The crew has also planned innovative lighting techniques underwater. Something to look forward to.

The film has cinematography and direction by N. K. Vishwanathan and has music by Ilayaraja.

Meanwhile, what else is Namitha up to besides getting wet in 'Jaganmohini'? She has reportedly asked for an exorbitant salary when the producers of 'Karthigai' approached her to replace Malavika. As reported already Malavika and the makers of the film had a tussle that let to Malavika being shown the door.

Sources reveal that the salary asked by Namitha was so high it sent panic waves among the producers.
