Maatran Telugu dubbing rights has been sold for a record high. It will be called Duplicate in Telugu. Now it is clear that one of the characters Surya plays is a duplicate.
There are a total number of four villains in Surya’s forthcoming venture ‘Maatran’ and one among them, interestingly, is Surya himself. The other three are Milind Soman, Daniel Balaji and Veera of ‘Nadunisi Naaygal’ fame!
“If one would closely look at the three names, they could find a Gautham Vasudev Menon link. While Milind Soman is the baddie of ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam’, Daniel is that of ‘Vettaiyadu Vilayadu’, and Veera was part of ‘Nadunisi Naaygal’,” point out sources.
“This is because of Surya’s close rapport with Gautham. Both are good friends and had worked together in ‘Kaakka Kaakka’ and ‘Varanam Aayiram’. Suriya, who was impressed with the performance of the three actors, wanted them to cross swords with him in Maatraan,” add sources.
Directed by K V Anand, the film which has Kajal Aggarwal opposite Surya is produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram of AGS Entertainment. Shooting is almost over and Anand is planning to release the movie during summer
Stunning and totally smitten by the idea of good cinema, Hansika excitedly says, “Bagging a role opposite Suriya is a dream come true.”
The actress whose stakes soared after she teamed up with in Velayudham is a winner when it comes to glamorous roles.
After considering several names including Sonam Kapoor to fill the glam part for the sequel to his earlier blockbuster Singham with Suriya again, Hari was convinced that Hansika would fit the bill perfectly.
“I think I am blessed to work with some of the best talents in K’town. I am looking forward to working with Suriya and Hari sir,” she gushes. Ask her if she is not intimidated with the presence of Anushka, she quips, “Not at all! I know how my role will shape up and Hari sir has given me the narration. So, there’s no hassle”.
It may be recalled Hansika also essays a gangster in Simbu’s Vettai Mannan where there are two more girls including Deeksha Seth.
