King in Tamil
Telugu super-hit movie King, which stars Nagarjuna and Trisha, will be soon dubbed in Tamil as Pattukkottai Azhagiri. There are three major�factors that have encouraged producer Shiva Prasad Reddy to dub it in Tamil; first, the increasing demand for Telugu movies in Kollywood; second, King’s box office collection of Rs. 15 crores in the opening week; third and most important, the song in which eight leading heroines of South appear! True! The song featuring eight Southern beauties – Anushka, Trisha, Genelia, Sneha Ullal, Charmi, Mamta Mohandas, Priyamani and Kamna Jetmalani – was widely discussed in the entire Southern filmi duniya.
King is a commercial entertainer from eminent Tollywood director Sreenu Vaitla�made to suit Nagarjuna’s larger-than-life image in Tollywood. The formulaic film is full of comedy, glamour and action. It will be a bonanza for all those who love Telugu-to-Tamil dubbed films.
