Later, Gemini Film Circuit bought the film's remake rights for
South India and confirmed Shankar as the director for Tamil and Telugu
versions of the project. Vijay was selected as the hero for Tamil
version, whereas Mahesh Babu was consulted for Telugu version. However,
Mahesh Babu rejected the offer to act in the movie, since he felt Tamil
actors are more in number in Telugu version of the movie as well. Not
succeeding in their efforts, Shankar finally decided to directed only
Tamil version of the movie and the same was dubbed into Telugu as well.
The movie was released on 26th of this month and turned out to be a
big failure at the box office. Now, fans of ram charan
and Mahesh Babu are taking a sigh of relief looking the movie's fate
at the box office and are quite happy with the decisions of their
heroes for not accepting this project.
