For director Perarusu, the woes are far from over. Even as his film Thirupathi hit the screens, it was involved in a controversy about its title. A film production company took the case to court seeking the banning of the film on grounds that their company had already registered the title ‘Tirupathi’ for one of their films. However, the case has been adjourned. Next, Perarusu attracted a lot of brickbats from hard-core Ajith fans who alleged that he had tried to outdo Ajith in the film.

And now, there seems to be fresh trouble regarding screening the film in Karnataka.
