Telugu Blockbuster 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' Flopped in Hindi, Actor Left Industry

• The 2005 Telugu film 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana', starring Siddharth and Trisha Krishnan, was a massive hit, earning 18 crore on a 4 crore budget.
• Its success led to remakes in 8 other languages including Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Manipuri, and Odia, most of which were also successful.
• The film's Hindi remake, 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' (2013), directed by Prabhu Deva and starring Girish Kumar and Shruti Haasan, failed to impress audiences despite popular songs.
• 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya', made on a 38 crore budget, collected only 36 crore, becoming a box office flop.
• After two consecutive flops, including 'Loveshhuda' (2016), lead actor Girish Kumar left the film industry and now serves as COO of Tips Industries.

Why It Matters: A Telugu superhit remade in 8 languages found success, but its Hindi version flopped, leading the lead actor to quit acting.
