The Telugu version of the Tamil blockbuster will be called ‘Thadi’. The dubbing work for the film has begun reveals Arivazhagan and the film will soon be ready for release. ‘Eeram’ was an action thriller which caught the attention of not only the movie goers in Tamil Nadu but also the critics working in the South Indian film industry.

Arivazhagan says that he is grateful to his producer Shankar who not only gave him the platform to showcase his talent in film making and gave him his first big break, but is also helping him out in the post production work of ‘Thadi’. With ‘Thadi’ hitting Telugu screens, the audience can embrace themselves for yet another thriller ride.
