Telugu Vel (Remake of Deva) in trouble!

Surya and Asin starrer Tamil film “Vel” was recently released in Tamilnadu. Producers Sakhamuri Panduranga Rao and KVV Satyanarayana planned to dub the film in Telugu under the title “Deva”. Tamil films dubbed in Telugu have always made good business in Andhra Pradesh. Now, it is a regular practice to release majority of big films featuring top heroes simultaneously in Telugu have done good in the box office, along with their Tamil versions.
Suriya is one of the celebrated heroes among Telugu fans. His Ghajini evoked good response there. Following Ghajini, his Deepavali release Vel got ready as Deva with songs and dubbing work completed. But the release date has been postponed as there is no theatre available free to release Deva and theatre owners are not too eager to release the movie.
The reason is all the theatres are overflowing with new releases. Distributors and producers connected with the Telugu release are pretty worried over the delay. Analyzing the real reason behind the problem, it is found that Happy Days is the only big hit of the season in Tollywood. The actual assumed delay is because Tamil box-office hits are actually affecting the success of many Telugu films. Against this backdrop, the Telugu Cinema association is against the release of Tamil films dubbed in Telugu.
