Mari Selvaraj's Tamil film, Maamannan, which opened to mixed to positive reviews last week, is now set to be released in Telugu. The film's Telugu title is Nayakudu, meaning leader. It has been announced that Asian Multiplexes and Suresh Productions have acquired the rights and will be releasing the Telugu dubbed version on July 14.
The film stars Vadivelu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, Fahadh Faasil and Keerthy Suresh in the main roles. Maamannan is the latest Telugu film to opt for dubbed Telugu post original release after Vetri Maaran's Viduthalai, which was released in Telugu two weeks after the Tamil version came out.
This political drama is billed as Udhayanidhi's final film as an actor. Udhayanidhi also produced the film through his Red Giant Studios. Maamannan has music by AR Rahman, cinematography by Theni Eeswar and editing by Selva RK.
