After the success of Bichagadu, the Telugu dubbed version of Pichaikaaran, Vijay Antony’s next release Bethaludu (Saithan in Tamil) has already made table profits before the film’s release.
Bichagadu released in May and raked in more than Rs 20 crores. The distributors of the film had bought it for just Rs 50 lakh. The magnitude of Bichagadu’s profit reflected on Bethaldu’s business; the Telugu producers purchased the rights to the film for Rs 3 crore.
Bethaludu has already done roaring pre-release business in all areas, bringing in table profits.

Vijay Antony, Boyapati Srinum Bellamkonda Suresh, Actor Nikhil and others attended the music launch of the film, in which the first few minutes were screened. “I never expected this response.
