Vikram, the rugged and handsome hero in Tamil, has been dubbed as a success after a long struggle.

But in Telugu he can straightway be a dubbed success, so to say.

Impelled by the good response to his Sivaputrudu (the dubbed version of his black and brooding Pithamagan), some enterprising film hands are dusting out his old Tamil films from the attic and dubbing them into Telugu.

The latest one on the starting blocks is Samurai, a film featuring him, Jaya Ray and Anitha. This film, directed by Balaji Shakthivel, has music by Harris Jayaraj.

Intriguingly, Vikram, much before he became a star in Tamil, won his spurs in Telugu through films like Adavalla Majaka and Thommidi Nelalu.

His new Tamil flick Anniyan (directed by Shankar) will also be dubbed as Aparachitudu.

Success speaks in several languages. Right, Mr.Vikram?
