With word of mouth, seats kept filling fast in theatres as the 4K version earned well for producers and exhibitors. However, telugu flicks Bro and Baby lost steam in the process.

Surya S/o Krishnan, which was released in erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh some 15 years ago, was a smashing hit. This Gautam Vasudev Menon directorial became a cult hit.

Vaaranam Aayiram, dubbed in Telugu as Surya S/o Krishnan, featured Suriya in a dual role — as father and son. Further, it starred Sameera Reddy, Simran, and Divya Spandana.

The chartbusters composed by Harris Jayaraj were a raging hit. According to reports, the 4K version collected ₹3.5 crore in the two Telugu States alone.

But there’s criticism too on social media that fans are compelled to watch the classics due to the poor content in the Telugu film industry.
