Mahesh Babu, known for strong re-release success with “Pokiri” and “Okkadu”, has faced a setback with the re-release of “Athithi”. The film failed to draw crowds despite a 4K upgrade, except in a few Hyderabad centres. Its original run was also disappointing. Fans blame the film choice and now eagerly await the re-release of “Athadu” in theatres soon.
