Lately, it has become a trend for major producers to release Tamil and other dubbed movies in theaters when their own films are not performing well. However, when other prominent films are also vying for attention, the arrival of these dubbed movies has become a source of frustration, as we witnessed during the last Sankranthi festival. Now, let's take a look at the most recent development.
At present, a prominent Telugu producer is currently engaged in negotiations to acquire the rights to the upcoming film "Leo" starring Tamil Superstar Vijay. This highly anticipated movie is helmed by the exceptionally talented director Lokesh Kanagaraj and is scheduled for release on October 19th. Interestingly, two other major Telugu films, "Bhagavat Kesari" by Balayya and Anil Ravipudi, and "Tiger Nageswara Rao" featuring Raviteja, have tentatively chosen October 20th as their release date, although no official announcements have been made yet. Furthermore, it is highly probable that even Boyapati Sreenu and Ram Pothineni's film will hit theaters within a day or two of this busy season.
Presently, the influential producer, who holds considerable sway over theaters, is making concerted efforts to secure the release of Vijay's film "Leo" in Telugu theaters through well-crafted agreements, theater lock-ins, and various other arrangements. This move has left many questioning the ethical considerations of these producers, as the release of dubbed films often undermines the revenue potential of local movies. However, considering the recent trend of Telugu films venturing into pan-India releases, it appears that Leo's release is inevitable. The unfolding events will determine the outcome, and it remains to be seen what transpires.
