Suriya’s Rakta Charitra movie coming on September 17

Suriya’s Raktha Charitra, being simultaneously made in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, has already created records even before its release.

The overseas rights of the Tamil versions titled Rattha Charitram, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, has been sold for a record Rs 4.5 crores (over US $1 million)!

With this, Suriya has joined the elite ‘Million dollar club of Tamil superstars’ which includes Rajinikanth ($2.5 million), Kamal Haasan ($1.5 million) and Vijay ($ 1 million). It is the highest-ever overseas price paid for a Suriya film.

The latest buzz is that the Hindi version (Raktha Charitra), which was scheduled to release in August, will now grace theatres on September 17.

There are also reports that RGV is planning to make the Hindi version in two parts and Tamil version as a single film.

Reason: Suriya’s role will begin only towards the end of the first part of the film and hence the Tamil version will narrate the story from his perspective.
