However, the makers claimed that the film got good collections in Nizam and few other centres. But going by the pics at success meet, Naresh seemed he wasn't happy with the response for the film.
Of late, Naresh films have been bombing at the BO. None of his recent films made an impact. He is now struggling to make a comeback. Though he tried, he's been failing each time as none of the films have strong story to care for.
No doubt, Naresh is good actor and in the past he proved it. It's high-time, Naresh should choose better scripts to bring back the lost glory.

Even though the tickets were priced at skyrocketing rates ranging from 300 to 1000 in the multiplexes and single screens, die-hard Rajini fans are not even thinking twice to grab the tickets to see the man at his fiery best this weekend.
The craze is such that a company's official notice says, "the holiday is declared to avoid sick leaves, mobile switch-offs and mass bunks". Since companies are even going out of way to woo their staff and are also arranging tickets for them at multiplexes through corporate bookings.
What's even more amusing is that an online petition has been requesting the Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa to declare a holiday on Friday the 22nd on account of Rajini's Kabali release. -

Apparently, Suresh Babu saw the film recently and was highly impressed with the output and decided to release it through his distribution house. With Suresh Babu's backing, Pelli Choopulu is sure to get a decent release and garner decent collections if the film connects with the audience. -
