It is being said that preparations are going on in full-swing for the dubbing of Rajinikanth starrer Petta in the Kannada language. The action film, written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran, is slated to release in January 2019 during Pongal.
Serious discussions are on to have the Tamil flick simultaneously released in Kannada along with other languages. The dialogues for the Kannada version have already been done, and dubbing is in process. Now, only an official confirmation from the producers is awaited. In that case, Petta will be the first film to release in Kannada on the same day along with other languages.
Also, the upcoming Telugu film —Vinaya Vidheya Rama, starring Ram Charan and directed by Boyapati Srinu — is slated to release during Pongal, and might also simultaneously release in Kannada. This is after Kannada film KGF was dubbed and released nationwide in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam) and all the versions were also released in Karnataka too.
