Kamal in Hyderabad
Kamal was in Hyderabad a few days ago to promote Raghavan, the Telugu-dubbed version of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. Idlebrain.com put up some nice pictures, including tight close-ups. IndiaGlitz topped it with its usual array of photos plus a video. The speeches are short, with Kamal talking partly in Telugu. The video itself starts off with the racy title track (in Telugu, of course) playing in the background.
Fans from Hyderabad had lamented that the pre-release publicity for this movie was really low-key. The producers seem to be making up by getting Kamal and Gautham to attend this event now. With the movie trying its luck at a time when twin tragedies have struck Hyderabad, this late effort should help anyway.
IndiaGlitz even reports that Kamal confirmed doing a straight Telugu movie.

Query: does Kamal do his own dubbing in Telugu? Could folks recommend any Kamal Telugu (i.e. non-dubbed) films? Thanks much.

Kamal used to do his own dubbing in Telugu, as far as I know, for long. It possibly stopped when every big Tamil movie started getting dubbed in Telugu by default. SPB mostly and Mano too possibly at times (both singers coincidentally) dub for Kamal these days.
Sommokadidhi Sokokadidhi, recommended on this very site is the only one I’m waiting to watch. I’m trying to get the VCD / DVD, but am not hopeful of English subtitles. Sagara Sangamam and Swathi Muthyam are classic Telugu movies which were dubbed into Tamil respectively as Salangai Oli and Sippikkul Muthu.
Any Telugus to give more pointers?

Ooh, nostalgia! Sagara Sangamam aka Salangai Oli was a magical combination of great acting, dance and music, fused with wonderful screenplay and direction!
