Even though Rajini’s previous film Jailer was the third highest-grossing Telugu dubbed film of all time with a share of over 47 crores, the buzz around Lal Salaam among Telugu fans and circles Rajini’s commercials were quite normal. However, to everyone’s surprise and disappointment, the first shows on the first day of Lal Salaam were canceled due to low occupancy at various centers in the Telugu states.
