Earlier Tamil dubbed movies were deferred including Vijay's 'Varisu' and Dhanush 'Captain Miller' since big Telugu releases were slated for release during festivals. However, the much hyped Tamil movie ‘Thangalan’ starring Vikram will break all the rules and gearing up for release in the two Telugu states on August 15. “Thangalan is bound to get decent number of theatres and it is going to break few rules too,” says a source who adds, “Despite Telugu releases like ‘Double iSmart’ and ‘Mr Bachchan ‘ and others vying for theatres in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Thangalan will also be hitting theatres on the same day," he adds.
Another distributor claims that there are 1400-odd theatres in the two Telugu states and all the films can be easily accommodated and adjusted. “Even if some films take 300 theatres each, there is enough space for other movies and 'Thangalan' being released by a big Telugu production house and it would be hassle-free effort. It will definitely compete with Telugu films this Independence Day,’ he points out.
National award winning actor Vikram is going to take on Telugu stars like Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni this year and prove his crowd pulling prowess since he is doing an action adventure set in a period and his looks have already triggered a lot of hype.
