The Tamil Nadu distribution rights of Tollywood star Mahesh Babu’s "The Business Man" has been obtained by producer Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green.

The film which released  on 13th January co-incided on the Sankaranthi festival. Kajal Agarwal plays Mahesh’s love interest.

The huge success of Prince’s earlier flick "Dookudu" in Tamil territories has created a new market for the star in TN.

"The Business Man" has the hit combo of Mahesh Babu and Puri Jagannath, whose earlier film "Pokkiri" had a record success at the box-office and was remade in Tamil and other languages.

Sources inform that Gnanavel Raja has also bought the remake rights of "The Business Man". Studio Green being the home banner of the hot K’town siblings Suriya and Karthi, Gnanavel is expected to remake "The Business Man" with Suriya in the lead — if the Telugu movie is a hit!

However when Gnanavel was asked by the media he denied acquiring the remake rights. “First of all, I did not buy  "The Business Man"’s remake rights. Moreover, when Suriya’s market in Andhra Pradesh is as huge as that of a Tollywood star, there are remote chances of me remaking a Telugu film with him in the lead.”
