More and more south Indian films
will be released in Russia following
the agreement entered into between
the Indo-Russian Chamber of Commerce
and Industries and the Russian Union
of Cinematography. An Indo Russian
meeting is scheduled to be held
in Chennai in December wherein the
delegates from Russia will be offered
the rights of Tamil films to be
dubbed or remade in Russian. Further,
Tamil films are also expected to
be released in Russia and it could
begin with Ajith’s Asal. In
fact, Asal is planned for a simultaneous
release in Russia and India. Other
popular films like Chandramukhi,
Thaneer Thaneer, Thillana Moganambal
will also be released in Russia.
Speaking on this development Mr.
Thangappan, secretary-general of
the Indo-Russian Chamber of Commerce
and Industries, Chennai, said: “Russia
is also a country where theatres
are in large numbers like India.
We thought this is a good way of
promoting both Indian and Russian
movies.”
