What happens

Puli (transl. Tiger) is a 2010 Indian Telugu-language action drama film written and directed by S. J. Suryah, starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead role, with Nikesha Patel, Manoj Bajpayee, Saranya Ponvannan, Charan Raj, Nassar, and Ali in supporting roles. The film features a soundtrack by A. R. Rahman and cinematography by Binod Pradhan. It was produced by Singanamala Ramesh Babu, on a ₹40 crore budget and was distributed by Geetha Arts. The film was released on 10 September 2010. Initially titled Komaram Puli, the film was renamed Puli on its second day of release due to objections from Komaram Sony Rao, the grandson of tribal legend Komaram Bheem, whose name had inspired the original title. The Nizam distribution rights were sold to Geetha Arts for ₹12 crore, a record-breaking sum at the time. Despite the high expectations, Puli was critically panned and ultimately became a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
