They say the story of the to-be released Ashok resembles a lot of Pandem Kodi. It maybe true or not. But what is certain is the fact that Pandem Kodi, the dubbed venture from Tamil (Sanda Kozhi), has just completed 50 days and the film is now classified as a hit.
G K Reddy, whose son Vishal is the film's hero, is naturally a happy man. For his other son Vikram Krishna is the producer of Pandem Kodi.
'It is a double delight,' he says. 'Two sons and the film is a hit in two languages'.
Pandem Kodi, starring Vishal and Meera Jasmine, is a gritty entertainer with lots of action and emotions. Linguswamy, who is now directing Vikram for Bheema, was the director of Pandem Kodi.
The dubbed version started slowly and picked up steam quickly. G K Reddy has been so overwhelmed with the response that he is adding 30 more print.
G K Reddy had released the movie through his home distribution network, Mayuri Film Distribution.
Yuvan Shankar's music is also a big hit.
Vishal meanwhile is doing a film titled Thimuru, and this will be released in Telugu as Pogaru.
Pogaru stars Reema Sen as the heroine.
It looks like there is no stopping Vishal and his dad.
