Actor Siddharth’s latest Tamil film, Chithha, released last week to glowing reviews from critics and movie lovers like. The film has emerged as a box office winner by collecting over Rs 11.50 crore in 5 days. Apart from playing the main lead, Siddharth has also produced this intense family drama.
At a press meet while promoting Chithha’s Telugu version ‘Chinna’ in Hyderabad earlier today, Siddharth turned teary-eyed as he revealed that none of the Telugu distributors were ready to buy his film even though the film was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Tamil version on September 28.
“Leading Tamil distribution house Red Giant Movies’ Udhayanidhi Stalin, top Kerala distribution house Sree Gokulam Cinemas and KGF production house Hombale Films watched my film and told me that they have never seen a film like Chittha and bought the distribution rights. But some Telugu distributors said, “who will come to watch Siddharth’s movies?,” the actor said, turning emotional. He went on to thank Asian Suniel Narang and Jahnavi for coming forward to release the movie in Telugu.
“I can’t make another good film than Chittha. I have not come here to talk about Bommarillu or Nuvvosthanante Nenoddantana or sing my songs. If you don’t like this movie, I will never come back here,” Siddharth concluded. Directed by SU Arun Kumar, Chinna also features Nimisha Sajayan, Baby Sahasra Sree and Anjali Nair in crucial roles. Siddharth himself bankrolled the movie under his home banner, Etaki Entertainment.
