As per the reports, Warangal Sreenu bagged the Telugu theatrical rights of Laatti for Rs 2.8 crore. Including prints and publicity, the film should collect Rs 3.05 share to be a safe bet for the buyers. Despite negative word of mouth and having two straight Telugu films like Dhamaka and 18 Pages as the competition at the ticket windows, it is almost impossible for Laatti to emerge as a hit in Telugu.
