Telugu born Tamil star Vishal enjoys awesome adoration from Telugu and Tamil audience. His films trade equally in dubbed Telugu and original Tamil versions. So, Vishal takes advantage of releasing his films both in Telugu and Tamil languages at a time. However, all his tactics to go for parallel release aren’t working from some time.
For example, ‘Kathakali’ made in Tamil from director Pandiraj starring Vishal was actually planned to hit Telugu and Tamil screens during the last Pongal season. With our star heroes Jr NTR, Balakrishna and Nagarjuna standing in Sankranti battle field, poor Vishal suffered a lot. After a series of postponements ‘Kathakali’ has hit Telugu screens with at least three months gap.
‘Rayudu,’ the upcoming Vishal film dubbed from original Tamil flick ‘Marudhu’ directed by Muthaiah is facing the heat from Mahesh Babu. While ‘Marudhu’ is releasing in Tamil Nadu on May 20, circumstances aren’t in favor for ‘Rayudu’ due to ‘Brahmotsavam’ arriving on same day. Later on there are ‘A… Aa’ followed by ‘Kabali’ gracing in Telugu states. Will ‘Rayudu’ see the same fate of ‘Kathakali’ and Vishal, the final sufferer?
