Pyramid Saimira bags bilingual rights for Taare Zameen Par

NEW DELHI: Pyramid Saimira Entertainment Limited, Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pyramid Saimira Group, has bagged the worldwide distribution rights of the Tamil and Telugu versions of Hindi film, Taare Zameen Par.

The Tamil version of the movie will be called “Val Natchattiram”, while the Telugu version of the movie will be called “Nelameedi Tharalu”.

Pyramid Saimira Ddstribution head Mukesh Metha said, “Taare Zameen Par is one of the most sensitively made films in recent times. Barring a few, not many children-oriented films have done very well in India. The movie in Hindi has proved that even unconventional themes and good stories can become a commercial hit. Pyramid Saimira has been consistently bringing good films and we feel that this film will prove a major success in Tamil and Telugu as well.”

The movie, dubbed into Tamil and Telugu, will be released in September 2008.
