MUMBAI: In a move to expand its presence in the South via content driven cinema, Eros International has joined hands with RV Films to co-produce two Tamil movies namely - Perai Thedia Natkal and Enkitta Mothathe.

Eros, which plans to release the movies by the end of the year, will also be looking at launching new talent in these ventures.
