Both Prithviraj Sukumaran and Taapsee Pannu are already established stars down South and this has worked in favor of makers to release the Tamil version of the film. Meanwhile, Naam Shabana also marks the third Bollywood outing of Prithviraj after Yash Raj Films’ Aiyya and Aurangzeb and third Taapsee film of 2017 after The Ghazi Attack and Running Shaadi.
Both Hindi and Telugu versions are scheduled to be released on 31 March 2017.
