According to a source, “Usually, remake of a film is released after a considerable gap . There have also been bi-linguals shot at the same location and time. However, these two films adapt to two different cultures for the same storyline. The original, shot in Agra has the quintessential North flavour, whereas, the Tamil version adapts the storyline into a South India setup and has been shot in Chennai. Yet both Aanand and Dhanush have decided to release both the versions of the film on the same date (April 22),” says a source close to the production house.
