'Riddick' to hit Indian theatres in four languages

Hollywood star Vin Diesel's sci-fi action film "Riddick" is set for release in India in four languages on September 6.
"Riddick" is the third instalment in "The Chronicles of Riddick" series. The movie would reprise Diesel's role as the title character.
PVR Pictures decided to release the film in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu looking at the popularity of previous films of the franchise.
"The Riddick Series has been a glorious franchise in the West, and we thought it was the right time to bring this cult to India. We are set to release the film pan-India in four languages -- English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu," said Deepak Sharma, Chief Operating Officer of PVR Pictures Ltd.

"Owing to the fact that Vin Diesel is a name synonymous with action we believe that the audience will definitely anticipate the release of this film," he said.
In the film, Diesel as Richard Riddick is slated to fight a fierce battle with alien predators on a planet before eventually going back to save his entire Furyan Race from destruction.
The movie is penned and directed by David Twohy who also wrote the other two films of the series "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles of Riddick.
