Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Thuppakki did reasonably well in Andhra who took to this slick action entertainer. Vijay looks to be keen to capitalize on the gains of Thuppakki as his latest film Thalaivaa is all set to speak Telugu.

The Telugu dubbed release is titled Anna – ‘Born To Lead’ and is scheduled to come on the same date as the Tamil version, August 9^th. Vijay’s Anna is expected to receive a warm welcome in A.P with a strong 250+ screen release but the film is expected to face stiff competition with the release of one of the local favorites, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi, which will be running riot in the same weekend with a confirmed release on August 7^th.

Interestingly, Pawan Kalyan and Vijay share a special connection as both actors have remade each other’s films as in the case of Thammudu which became Badri in Tamil and likewise Kushi went to Telugu under the same name. Also Vijay’s Thirupaachi and Love Today were adapted by Pawan Kalyan for his films Annavaram and Suswagatham respectively.
