What happens

Bommalattam is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language thriller film written and directed by Bharathiraaja. The film stars Arjun Sarja and Nana Patekar, with Rukmini Vijayakumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Niyamat Khan, Vatsal Sheth, Ranjitha and Manivannan in supporting roles. Himesh Reshammiya composed the music and cinematography was done by B. Kannan. It was simultaneously shot in Hindi, with Mushtaq Khan in place of Manivannan; however, the Tamil version was mostly dubbed from Hindi. Bommalattam was released it on 12 December 2008, while the Hindi version, originally titled Cinema, was retitled Final Cut of Director and had a limited release on 21 October 2016. While Bommalattam was a success, Final Cut of Director failed financially. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
