Rajamouli's 'Eega' gets 5 Crore offer for Tamil

Did S S Rajamouli's Eega get an offer of close to Rs 5 crore for the Tamil Version? Yes, say the sources in the industry. The buzz is that the offer made by a prominent producer in Tamil Nadu is the highest so far for any Telugu film to be simultaneously made in Tamil.

In the recent few years, except for the Tamil version of Arundhati, none of the Telugu films dubbed in Tamil have managed to pull the audience to the cinema halls. However, S S Rajamouli's brand image has transcended boundaries over the past few years and his blockbuster film Magadheera is going to hit the screens in Tamil Nadu soon as Maaveeran. The actual shooting of Eega is going to begin from today after almost two weeks of trial shooting in a specially designed set in Ramanaidu Studios, Hyderabad.

The Telugu and Tamil versions of the film are going to be shot parallely.

Nani, Samantha and Sudeep are playing the lead roles in the film. Sai Korrapati is producing the film and Suresh Babu is presenting it. Jamie Fowlds, who worked for movies like Parzania, Lamhaa is the cinematographer for the movie. M.M.Keeravani is the music composer and editing will be done Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao.
