Released in India on February 6, 2015, “Aadu” initially received a mixed response and didn’t perform well at the box office. However, after its DVD release, the film garnered positive feedback and eventually gained a cult following. The success led to a sequel, “Aadu 2,” released in 2017, with a third installment, “Aadu 3,” announced for release in 3D format.
