From Subramaniapuram to Ananthapuram

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,March 26 2009]

The journey has been so long indeed. Felicitated as the year’s ‘Best Path Breaking Film’ by Maathru Bhoomi Publications, the film has reached towards the farthest ends bounded with appreciations. Director Sasi Kumar who produced and released the film ‘Subramaniapuram’ wouldn’t have expected such glorious honors.

Earlier, Telugu’s leading producers had talks with Sasi Kumar in remaking ‘Subramaniapuram’ in Telugu. Perhaps, there were few barriers while penning the polished version to suit Telugu style. ‘Shifting the locations of 1980 and cultural adjustments weren’t really a good idea of savoring to the tastes of Tollywood audiences’ said one of the closest sources.

Finally, producers backed off from remaking and instead dubbed it. The Telugu version is now titled as ‘Ananthapuram 1980’. As Swathi haps to be a famous actress in town, producers are expecting good results for the film.
