MUMBAI: Cinematographer-director Santosh Sivan‘s historical epic Urumi (the weapon), which released in its Malayalam version last Thursday, will be also available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English over the next two months.

The film, spread between the second and third visit of Vasco da Gama to India, chronicles a varied version of how Vasco da Gama could have met a bloody death in AD 1524. It is set in the backdrop of the fierce warrior clans of Northern Kerala in the 16th century and focuses on Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar (Prithviraj) - a man whose target and mission is to resist or kill Dom Vasco da Gama, the Viceroy of the Portuguese empire in India.

The film will have two versions for screening - a standard three-hour theatrical version and a 90-minute English version for the international market.

The film has been titled Pathinaindham Nootrandu Uraivaal in Tamil while the English version has been named Vasco Da Gama. The Hindi title is being finalised.

Urumi stars Prithviraj, Prabhu Deva, Genelia, Tabu and Vidya Balan.
