Dubbing the movie in other languages is waste of time,
Yes, one can see what the tamilian Govermment is investing the money for. Instead of fixing the infrastructure, poverty and corruption they waste millions of rupies for this rascal lifestory, who has done very much damage of tamilian history, then ever anybody else. Smash his statures around tamil nadu and you will spent at least one year to fill up your calender his this work. Possessed in image worship, they loose the sense of reality of what he really was! Instead of bringing movies on real great souls of tamilian culture, they have even plans to dub this movie in other languages??? Why??? Please, dont make it in german, we have engough sick leaders in our history, we dont need another one from india!
