Venkatesh and Telugu content

@DragoMynaa: Hi there, with regard to this and similar edits, can you please explain what the idea behind it was? Specifically, slashes are not terribly helpful as they create ambiguities. As someone who has never seen this film, I have no idea why both Mohanlal and Venkatesh are credited with the same role, which is why prose is the better choice for this sort of thing. Did Venkatesh dub over Mohanlal's performance, or in the Telugu version, did they replace Mohanlal entirely and film Venkatesh instead? Whatever the deal is, that should be clearly explained, for example in the cast section. If Venkatesh was dubbing the role, that doesn't belong in the infobox or lead, since we typically only track the main performer. If Mohanlal's performance was replaced entirely by Venkatesh's acting, then that probably should be explained not only in the casting section, but in the lead. Your feedback is appreciated, thanks.

Language

@Ab207: The Telugu version seems partly dubbed (like the Tamil actors portions such as R. S. Shivaji's, etc.). That is why The Hindu reported that "The veteran actor [Kamal Haasan] had last starred in a Telugu movie 20 years ago, in K. Viswanath’s Subhasankalpam" while reporting for Cheekati Rajyam. What does the CBFC certificate say (most likely is straight)? DareshMohan (talk) 03:08, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DareshMohan, yep, straight according to CBFC. Also, Kamal dubs himself for straight Telugu films (barring exceptions like Vishwaroopam series and now Vikram).

Like we discussed earlier, not every single scene is shot twice as the makers claim (unless they are two completely different versions like GVM's films). They are shot primarily in one language. Second version is shot only in close up scenes where lip sync is visible or when the actors replace each other -- Ab207 (talk) 05:19, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
