Young producer bags Bigil's Telugu rights

Thalapathy Vijay is one of the most followed actors in the Tamil film industry. He is trying to create a market in Telugu as well and has been releasing the dubbed versions simultaneously along with the original Tamil versions. His earlier films like Theri (Policodu in Telugu), Mersal (Adhirindi) and Sarkar performed well in Telugu as well.

Vijay is now coming with his new film Bigil, which is being directed by Atlee. The Telugu rights of this film are bagged by young producer Mahesh S Koneru who own the banner East Coast Productions. Mahesh has earlier produced Kalyan Ram's 118 and is currently bankrolling Keerthy Suresh's Miss India.

According to the sources, he is planning to release Bigil in 400+ screens in both the Telugu states during the Diwali festive weekend. A lot of higher stakes are being put on this film and we have to see how will it perform at the box office. Nayanthara is playing the female lead role in this film.
