On the other hand, a few reports suggest that the team has decided to release the film in multiple languages including English, due to the inclusion of Game of Thrones actor James Cosmo. Well, if news about Jagame Thandhiram releasing in 17 languages is true, the OTT platform and the makers will be able to collect as much as Rs 100 crore with its massive business.
