Prince and Ilayathalapathy will Rock this Pongal 

Businessman(Tamil) is all set to to widely release in Tamil Nadu on Jan 11 2012 on the same day of its Telugu release. Mahesh Babu is the most popular Telugu star in Tamil Nadu after delivering the biggest blockbuster hit way ahead of any other Telugu movies released in Chennai. TN distributors are also confident about Businessman(Tamil) because of many reasons -- Dookudu record collections, Thaman's music following Osthe's Success, Kajal Agarwal who joined the A-league actress in Tamil with Maattrraan, and Puri Jegganath's commercial direction.

Nanban(Telugu)

Meanwhile, Shankar is also planning to release Nanban in Telugu during the same weekend. Other than Vijay factor, Nanban is also expected big in Telugu because of the popularity of Shankar, Ileana, Harris and Jiiva (after KO Telugu success). Nanban Telugu is expected to have a market of around 25 Crores based on past records set by Director Shankar and recent Tamil dubbed movies. 

Vijay and Mahesh Babu share a great rapport and it will be interesting to see how they will sort out this developing situation in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
