Dhanush got the big break of his career in telugu with raghuvaran B.Tech but he could not capitalize on the movie success. His films are being dubbed into telugu but lack of proper care and release here ensured that the advantage is completely lost. He is all set to try his luck once again as 'Local Boy', which is set against the backdrop of Adimurai, an ancient martial art that was practiced in tamil Nadu. He has played two roles in the movie. Directed by RS Durai senthilkumar, this mass entertainer is brought to the telugu audience by Vigneshwara Entertainments' Ch Satish Kumar.
Says producer Ch Satish Kumar, "The film has a martial arts backdrop and has done great in Tamil. Dhanush's performance has been hailed critically. He took special training to gain grip on martial arts. The film has familiar faces in its cast and so, you will see it as a straight telugu movie. mehreen, sneha, naveen chandra and Nasser are well-known here. Watching 'Local Boy' will feel like watching a straight telugu movie. We are confident that this is going to be as big a hit in telugu as in Tamil."
