Can Vikram Save Abhishek?

Chiyaan Vikram enjoys equally good market in Telugu and Tamil states. He is known for donning variety of get ups and stands just next to Universal Star Kamal Hasan in winning the critics hearts. Although many of Vikram’s Tamil to Telugu dubbed films bombed big time in recent times, there isn’t a shortfall of demand for his movies. 

‘Inkokkadu,’ the Telugu dubbed version to Tamil movie ‘Iru Mugan’ has done a fancy business in Telugu states. Early on, a businessman Krishna Reddy bagged the Telugu theatrical rights from original producer Shibu Thameens but later was sold at Rs. 8.5 Crores to Abhishek Pictures. 

Off late, Nama Abhishek released ‘Kabali’ in Nizam to bear minimal losses. Now, Rs. 8.5 Crores is by all sorts a risky amount given Vikram’s tentative market value. As the film is going to hit the screens in next month, Abhishek Pictures are keeping their confidence high up in front of other buyers quoting high prices for area wise theatrical rights. Vikram is playing dual roles among which one includes a transgender. Nayanathara, Nithya Menon are female leads while Anand Shankar is the director.
