Tamil Magadheera for Pongal 2010

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

 The producers of Magadheera are seriously debating to see if they can take the film in to Tamil by partially reshooting the film with Tamil artists. They are thinking of replacing portions of Srihari and the comedians to give it a Tamil look and feel.

However the director Rajamouli has not given his opinion as he is away on a holiday. Magadheera has taken tremendous time and effort on Rajamouli part and would he want to do it all over again is a question’ he alone can answer.

This could be the main reason for not releasing telugu version in Tamilnadu and Chennai.

Telugu film Magadheera, starring Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja, which has created a record of sorts by grossing Rs 25 crore in its first week of release, will soon be dubbed in Tamil as Maaveeran, which was also the title of a popular yesteryear Rajinikanth film. Magadheera is a fantasy movie made at cost of Rs 39 crore, and the storyline talks of reincarnation and revenge.


Directed by SS Rajamouli, the film had Kajal Agarwal in the lead. Though there were many offers to remake the film in Tamil, the producers decided against it as they felt that recreating the grandeur and special effects would be an impossible task.

But the Telugu version will not be released as it is in Tamil, as they later came up with a different plan to dub the film in shoot certain scenes to get the local flavour in. For instance, the role of a Muslim emperor played by Srihari in the Telugu version will be reshot with a Tamil actor. Sources reveal that either Sarath Kumar or Arjun will be roped in for this role.
Also, a separate come dy track featuring Vadivelu will be canned.
