Despite a fact that Kamal Hasan has good following in Telugu and his movies do excellent and on par business with Tamil Nadu, one has to agree that when it comes to a fight between native star heroes like Ramcharan, Mahesh Babu with Kamal, the balance tilts on our side. However, Dasari Narayana Rao seems to have shown his magic and made Kamal commit for the release of Telugu 'Vishwaroopam' on the day of January 11 while other Tamil hero Karthi has wisely pushed his release of 'Bad Boy' to a later date.
Analysts say that if 'Naayak' and 'SVSC' release in a short gap between Janauary 9 and 11, it is highly impossible for Kamal to find ample number of theatres to cash on the festive Pongal season. While this is the point where Karthi stepped back cleverly, Kamal has shown the guts to compete with our heroes.
