Vikram’s ‘Kanthaswamy’ goes to Bollywood

It nearly took a decade for this actor to top-the-charts and finally make it bigger than expected. Actor Vikram is making the headway to greater success from all his films. Well, it’s not just his ardent fans, but the entire town is eagerly looking out for his forthcoming release ‘Kanthaswamy’. The film is getting released this month with 900 prints simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu (Mallanna).

Moreover, post-success of his ‘Aparajith’ (Hindi version of ‘Anniyan’), Vikram had received offers from Bollywood producers. But the actor's hands were full with more projects and so he couldn’t answer to their calls. And now, with his Bollywood debut ‘Raavan’ directed by Mani Rathnam is close on the heels of completion, his popularity seems to have increased a lot. Distributors and producers have now decided to dub some of his films in Hindi, which includes his forthcoming release ‘Kanthaswamy’. On the pars, his yesteryear flick ‘Dhill’ is also set to be dubbed. It’s noteworthy that ‘Dhill’ was remade in Hindi as ‘Dum’ starring Vivek Oberoi in lead role.
