‘Businessman’ Telugu distribution rights in Tamilnadu were sold to Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green. The rights include distribution of Telugu version as well as remake of the film. Well, we may wonder what he will do with remake rights when the film is releasing in big way with dubbed version itself.
But no one knows if the Tamil version is releasing. It may happen only when it becomes a block buster super hit in Telugu.
Mahesh Babu has huge following in AP and hence it is sure that he brings openings and huge successive collections here. But what is the guarantee that he can do that in Tamilnadu? Hence the makers also thought lately that it would be a wise thing to sell remake rights and make considerably big money than merely depending on dubbing version. Hence it was sold to G Raja.
Gnanavel Raja is planning to cast either Surya or Karthi in Tamil remake it seems. So, these developments say that there may not be Tamil release of Businessman in big way. Even though it happens, it will be done in C grade level like Mahesh Babu’s previous films did in Tamilnadu.
When remake thing is ‘on’, Gnanavel Raja cannot let Tamil dubbed version see light in Tamilnadu, even if the film hits in Telugu.
And Malayalam need not be counted here, as that’s not a big business point for Businessman.
