Rajni's Sivaji - The Boss to be dubbed in Hindi

With Tamil cinema super star Rajnikanth's latest blockbuster Sivaji - The Boss still running to packed houses in some pockets outside south India, the producers of the film have decided to dub it in Hindi and are planning a post-Diwali release.

"Sivaji - The Boss will be dubbed in Hindi as the response for the film in Delhi, Mumbai and other major cities outside south India has been overwhelming," said S C Babu, CEO of AVM Productions.

"Some portions of the film will be re-shot to cater to the Hindi-speaking audience. Rajnikanth will dedicate three to four days for the shooting," Babu told PTI from Chennai.

Asked whether Rajnikanth will dub his voice in Hindi, Babu said:  "Indications are that he is unlikely to do the dubbing."

Swanand Kirkire is penning the dialogues for the dubbed version, and is likely to finish his work by October.

"We are planning a post-Diwali release. We don't want to release a dubbed version during the festive season," he said.
