Nag Mahesh Joint Attack

It is a common tradition to see remakes and dubbed versions making rounds between Tollywood and Kollywood. However, the recent past has seen a new trend in Tollywood where in the top league stars are making special efforts to make their presence felt in the state of Tamil Nadu. This was not the practice earlier though Tollywood used to get films from Rajinikanth, Vikram, Vijay etc.

Right now, it is the turn of Nagarjuna and Mahesh Babu. It appears that both are going on a joint attack to steal the box office collections at Kollywood. Sources say Nag’s ‘Ragada’ has been dubbed into ‘Vambu’ and will be released in Tamil. On the other hand, ‘Khaleja’ starring Mahesh has been named as ‘Bhatra’ and will be releasing around the same time. This is being taken there by producer Bhadrakali Prasad Rao and buzz is that he would be releasing them in Malayalam as well.

The music for ‘Vambu’ is by Thaman while ‘Bhatra tunes were scored by Mani Sharma. Recently, the audio release for both films took place in Chennai and Prasad Rao is positive that the songs will strike a chord with the Tamil audience. With the glamour of Anushka in both the films and the presence of Priyamani and Charmee (with special song) in ‘Vambu’, the hype is high.

As such, both flicks failed to impress the Telugu audience so let us hope they manage to relieve themselves by scoring points with the Tamil audience.
