Last
year,
Ajith
and
Nayanthara's
Tamil
film,
Viswasam,
released
in
theatres
on
January
10,
and
immediately
got
the
cash
registers
ringing.
The
movie
was
dubbed
in
Telugu
and
Kannada
as
well.
While
the
makers
released
the
Telugu
version
with
the
same
title
on
March
1,
Viswasam
was
released
in
Kannada
as
Jaga
Malla
on
March
7.
The
action-drama
turned
out
to
be
an
overall
winner
as
the
movie
did
well
in
Telugu
and
Kannada
too.
In
fact,
the
original
even
ended
up
sweeping
away
several
big
awards
last
year.
And
now,
Ajith's
blockbuster
film
has
set
yet
another
record.
Last
Friday,
on
April
17,
the
Kannada
version
of
Viswasam,
Jaga
Malla,
premiered
on
Udaya
TV
and
created
history
by
recording
the
highest
TRP
ratings
ever
for
a
dubbed
Kannada
movie
by
registering
50,53,000
impressions.
Usually,
only
big
Kannada
stars
manage
to
get
such
a
phenomenal
response
to
their
film's
television
premiere.
But
with
Jaga
Malla
garnering
so
much
attention,
one
thing
is
pretty
evident,
Ajith
Kumar
not
only
has
a
huge
fan
base
in
Kollywood
but
also
in
Sandalwood.
While
Viswasam
was
helmed
by
filmmaker
Siva,
Hrudaya
Shiva
wrote
the
dialogues
and
songs
for
the
Kannada
version.
Back
in
2017,
Ajith's
film
Yennai
Arindhaal
was
also
dubbed
and
released
in
Kannada
as
Sathyadev
IPS,
whereas
his
action-thriller
Vivegam
was
released
as
Commando.
His
2013
release
Arrambam
also
came
out
in
Kannada
as
Dheera.
Going
by
the
list
of
his
Kannada
dubbed
movies,
it's
given
that
Ajith
Kumar
has
made
his
mark
in
Sandalwood
as
well.
Isn't
that's
a
big
achievement
in
itself?
