Nandamuri Balakrishna might be a regional hero with strong Fan following in Telugu speaking States. At the same time, his name is pretty popular in neighboring Tamil Nadu and Kerala too. Thanks to the Nandamuri brand value. This is the area where Balayya is likely to cash in Pongal season if director cum producer Sriwass attempts to release ‘Dictator’ in Tamil and Malayalam works out?
Apparently, Junior NTR ‘Nannaku Prematho’ also aimed for parallel release in Tamil and Malayalam languages along with Telugu on the same date. Due to lethargic delays from Sukumar in wrapping up the shooting portions, now the film is suffering with incomplete re-recording works and zero progress in Tamil, Malayalam dubbing activities.
In contrast, we heard that Balakrishna and Sriwass have made all the arrangements for ‘Dictator’ to release in Tamil Nadu, Kerala with respective native languages as dubbing for the same are in final stages. Nevertheless, Kollywood Box Office is so tight with nearly three to four big films fighting in centre for Pongal and ‘Dictator’ can also be one of them. Why is Balakrishna so confident on ‘Dictator?’
