Only big star's films or love stories work in Telugu
Talking at an event, actor Siddharth went on to discuss about how Tamil films work in Telugu. He went on to explain that Telugu dubbed Tamil films are better since they are easy on budget for the makers.
Making things clear on difference between dubbed and bilingual films, Siddharth went on to elaborate, "I did Vetrimaran's Udhayam, a full-length Tamil film, it was later dubbed in Telugu. Some films like 'Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru' will click in Telugu since its story is city-based and office-oriented story. Like how Santhnam did the comic scenes in Tamil, there in Telugu Brahmanandam the renowned, senior actor played the same role. So because of him such films work there; however it can't be said for all movies. But in case of 'Kaaviya Thalaivan' or 'Jigardanda', we didn't get any Telugu artist or actor to do the Telugu version. Going with the script, interested distributors there bought the film, dubbed it and released it in Telugu. But they can't be called as bilingual film." He is of opinion that such films work; however making the same movie simultaneously in Telugu not only exceeds the project's budget, but also it has less market.
"So family, commercial entertainers or comedy (Tamil) films will be equally successful in Telugu also but not those films which are of different genre", added the actor and went on to justify that Telugu audience have different taste, "If you see, in Telugu they (audience) won't see different kind of genres - its either any big star's films or love stories have more scope. So films with different concept or off beat films don't attract much audience."
Moving over to his forthcoming project, Siddharth said, "My next film which is by Vasanthabalan is called 'Kaaviya Thalaivan'. For nearly two years Balan and I are quite attached to the script. As they say that each thing has its own time - at one point of time I and Balan felt that this film will not take off. Because there is no one who feels so close to the script like me or Balan. Even AR Rahman, wherever he meets me, he teasingly asks whether I will do the film or not. On this I would say that although he has to wait, I really wish to work with him. We have already worked together in four films."

Something Something: Drama of the absurd
There’s a style of theatre called ‘Theatre of the Absurd.’ Sometime in the 1950s, European playwrights wrote pieces that didn’t subscribe to logic and often had confusing dialogues. These pieces of writing were categorised under absurdist fiction, which later developed as a genre unto itself. Something similar can be said of many comedies churned out in Indian cinema. Tamil filmmaker Sundar C is an expert at largely irrational laugh-a-thons. The fun is clean so you laugh at the slapstick and practical jokes cracked at the expense of many characters in his films. These gags will eventually be telecast every other day on the telly.
Sundar’s latest offering Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru has been simultaneously released in Telugu as Something Something, the title playing on the popular song from Nuvvostanante Nenodantana sung by Siddharth. Eight years after Nuvvostanante Nenodantana, Siddharth still retains the charm to play the lover boy.
Kumar (Siddharth) is the kind of non-descript, non-charismatic nerd you wouldn’t take notice of. This nerd has an uphill task: His grandfather, father and two elder sisters have all been successful in love and he has to measure up to them. There’s a hitch though. As early as kindergarten, Kumar has been at the receiving end of girls and hates them.
Sundar’s narrative is laced with comedy from the beginning and you know nothing is to be taken seriously. So when almost every man in the IT firm just stops short of swooning over the new recruit Sanjana (Hansika), you try not to squirm. Kumar faces stiff competition from the handsome Ganesh Venkatraman and takes the help of a love guru, Premji (Brahmanandam), to woo Sanjana. Premji takes Kumar under his wings, grooms him and teaches him a thing or two about understanding women. Oh wait; aren’t we reminded of Choti Si Baat? The idea is the same, but Sundar is no Basu Chatterjee and Brahmanandam is no Ashok Kumar. What we get to see are cheesy pick-up lines being put to use and Kumar getting slapped, rightfully.
Premji’s tricks, faithfully executed by Kumar, vary from silly to atrocious. Somewhere down the line, Kumar realises he has to win his love truthfully. This wee bit of earnestness gets drowned in the comedy of errors that ensues.
