Audience in Telugu Desam are in for a treat, as Vikram's next, 'Rajapattai' is gearing up for a simultaneous release in Tollywood too. According to sources, the film will be dubbed and released in Telugu due to various factors, with the main one being the popularity of Vikram there.

K Vishwanath, who is playing a crucial role in Rajapattai is a celebrated director in Tollywood and heroine Deeksha Seth too is popular," sources say.

"All these things have made Prasad V Potluri of PVP Cinemas, who had acquired the film's rights from S Ramesh, to dub and release Rajapattai in Telugu," sources say and add: "The film is now in its final stages of shoot and can be expected to hit the screens post Diwali."

Vikram plays a gym instructor-cum-cinema stuntman in this movie, which is claimed by director Suseenthiran as a full-fledged commercial entertainer. Besides, the film is said to be taking a dig at those involved in land grabbing, an issue which is in the headlines of late.
