‘Bahubali’ success opened new gates for Telugu movies ingress into neighboring states. In the process, ‘Bahubali’ surpassed many benchmarks underlining the salient feature of mushrooming demand for Telugu films. This energizing motion impelled by Rajamouli and team has activated ‘Srimanthudu’ producers to plan a grand dubbing release in Tamil Nadu with ‘Selvanthan’ title parallel to Telugu release on August 7th.
According to unofficial reports, Mahesh Babu and Mythri Movie Makers haven’t sold Tamil rights outright as they still hold a decent stake in business of Tami version. In fact, Mahesh Babu became an active producer for first time with ‘Srimanthudu’ by beginning a new banner on his name. So, ‘Srimanthudu’ is a test on fresh ground for Mahesh Babu both as an actor and producer.
Depending upon first hand experiences of ‘Selvanthan’ in Kollywood, Mahesh Babu is also extending his plan for ‘Brahmotsavam’ to be made in Tamil language too. As a producer, Mahesh Babu is stroking master business moves in Tollywood and Kollywood. Let us see, how profitable he will be?
