Siddharth cries during Chinna's promotions. Siddharth's latest release, 'Chithha,' has been setting the stage on fire with its outstanding performance, earning praise from both critics and audiences. Originally scheduled for a simultaneous Telugu release on September 28, the film faced challenges in securing enough screens in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. However, Asian Films has stepped in as the distributor, and the Telugu version, titled 'Chinna,' is now set to captivate audiences on October 6.
At a pre-release event, emotions ran high as Siddharth couldn't hold back tears on stage. The success of 'Chithha' marks another win for Siddharth and director SU Arun Kumar, following their previous hit collaborations. The film boasts a talented cast, including Nimisha Sajayan, Baby Sahasra Sree, and Anjali Nair, who played pivotal roles.
Nearly a week after its original release, 'Chinna' is finally ready to make its mark in Telugu cinema. During a press conference, Siddharth revealed that renowned distributors in Tamil Nadu (Red Giant Movies) and Kerala (Sree Gokulam Cinemas) have already praised the film as one of the best. Additionally, the producers of the blockbuster 'KGF' in Karnataka secured the rights after watching the film.
Siddharth expressed his feelings, saying, "The film was initially scheduled for a simultaneous Telugu release, but some questioned whether people would come to watch Siddharth's movies. I firmly believed that if I made a good film, the audience would come. Unfortunately, we couldn't secure theaters for the September 28 release due to this skepticism. Sunil Garu from Asian Films recognized the film's potential and supported it. I can confidently say that I haven't made a better film than this one."
He continued, "I don't want to rehash what I've said in the past about my previous films like 'Bommarillu.' If you have faith in cinema and enjoy it, I urge you to watch 'Chinna.' After seeing it, if you still feel that you don't want to watch any more of my films, I won't hold press conferences like this anymore."
'Chithha,' written and directed by SU Arun Kumar, is a powerful emotional thriller that addresses the sensitive issue of child abuse. The film delivers a crucial social message on how to support and treat individuals, especially children, who have experienced abuse, shedding light on the impact on families and the need for support.
Produced under Siddharth's own banner, Etaki Entertainment, the film is enjoying a surge in box office collections thanks to the positive word of mouth. 'Chithha' stands as a testament to Siddharth's commitment to meaningful cinema and storytelling.
