Siddharth’s Chithha is finally releasing in Telugu after a bit of struggle as the film didn’t get any takers there. Siddharth, who has also produced the movie, said that people asked him who would see his films. Chithha is now getting released in Telugu as Chinna by Asian Cinemas. Siddharth thanked Sunil Narang and Jahnvi Narang for releasing the movie in the Telugu states.

“In Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin garu watched the film and said he hadn’t watched a film like this and his Red Giant Films brought the rights. In Kerala, the leading producer Sree Gokulam Cinemas’ Gopalan sir watched the film and said he hasn’t watched such a film in his 55 years and bought my film. In Karnataka, KGF producers said they haven’t watched such a film and bought the Karnataka distribution,” he began.

After a long pause, Siddharth continued, “In Telugu, people asked me who will watch Siddharth’s film. I said, ‘If I give a good film, they will watch it.’ This film should have been released on September 28, but I couldn’t get to theatres because of this. Asian Cinemas’ Sunil garu saw the film and backed it. I thank him and Jahnvi for coming here. I haven’t made a good film as this one. I didn’t want to explain what was there in the film and recall Bommarillu and my other (hit) films. I have already said all these. If you believe in cinema and if you enjoy cinema, please go watch it. After watching it, if you feel that you don’t want to watch Siddharth’s film, then I won’t hold any press meets like this.”

Chithha, directed by SU Arun Kumar of Sethupathi fame, stars Siddharth, Sahasra Shree, Nimisha Sajayan, and Anjali Nair in the lead roles. It follows the story of a young girl, who gets abducted by a paedophile, and the struggle of her uncle to save her.
