You said that You are a Tamilian staying Bengaluru.Recently "Jab we met" a bollywood movie is being remade in Tamil."Bhagawan" a malayalam hit is also being remade in Tamil.But don't' worry we never complain to your Industry because we feel movies are known to entertain ppl irrespective of the languages and not to create hatred messages among the ppl.

Dude chandran. I never said that Tamil movies are remade.But most tamil movies are remakes from Telugu or Hini. Very very few from Kannada. Maybe only 5-6 till now.Most of the recent Kannada movies are remade from Tamil only. You cannot deny that fact

Rajesh, there are few telugu movies are remamke into tamil. Even those original telugu films were done by tamilians or chennaites. Like Selvaragavan, prabhu deva, and has lot of technical guys from chennai like harris jeyaraj, yuvan, lot of cameramans are tamils, stunt directors like kanal kanna, peter heins are from chennai, top class editors like antony also from chennai. List is endless. so, the end point is tamil influence in telugu cinema is much higher than any other language.

Srinivasan, I agree the tamil influnece on telugu cinema.But please dont glorify it.Same is the case with tamil.Do not point out ppl like selvaraghavan who has directed just 1 straight movie in telugu and prabhudeva 2 movies(only direction and not handled any other department including story screen play).He was almost ghost directing.Infact Prabhu deva has long career in telugu than in tamil.Better dont talk abt Harris jayaraj and Yuvan who is not having a single hit.But they have done less than 5 films.The only gr8 influence is Ilayaraja, the god of music.If u deny this fact most producers like RB choudhary,AM Ratnam,Editor Mohan,Srikanth,Jayam Ravi,SP Balu,Susheela,PB sreenivas,Janaki amma,Mano,Devi Sri Prasad,Mani Sharma,Vidya sagar,and veterans like Banumathi,Savithri etc the list is endless.I bet the number of remakes in telugu are equal to tamil.The only department where I agree gr8 domination is choreography.Infact these three industries were closeley knitted.Telugu film industry contributed a lot when it was in chennai before shifting to hyderabad.All the major studios are owned by telugu ppl including vijaya,bharani,gemini,prasad labs.Even AVM was about vanish with its first tamil film but their telugu venture helped them to stay in the business.Facts can not be denied and changed.And all this is for information only.No arguements plz.Period.

Mr.Rajesh, the fact is one has to blame BJP-Yeddy govt. in karnataka.This govt. has approved to give 100% tax free to all the kannada movies including remake movies.Previously it was not so. This has very much attracted producers from other states.Usually remake rights are being purchased by giving a small ammount to the orginal producar/writer and will be remade in their respective languages.Now a days this is a big business in kannada film industry since dubbing system is not present.Just for ex. Buddivantha of Upendra was a huge hit in kannada recently.The original producer (Jeevan of Tamil) and Upendra had invested only 6 crores with small changes in the film.But buddivantha had earned almost 25 crores.So this easy profit had attracted producers from other states. But not all remake movies are successful.
