“Stress attracts more stress. Worry attracts more worry. Happiness attracts more happiness. Joy attracts more joy.” Venkatesh shared this quote by self-help author Rhonda Byrne on his Instagram Story, without adding any personal caption or explanation. The Story has caught fans’ attention, with many discussing its possible connection to the disappointing box-office performance of his latest film, Aadarsha Kutumbam.
Several fans are connecting the dots, interpreting the message as Venkatesh’s way of staying positive amid the film’s theatrical struggles. However, there is no confirmation that the Story was intended as a response to the film’s result. The actor is known for his calm and spiritual outlook and frequently shares philosophical thoughts on social media. It is entirely possible that this was simply another such message rather than a cryptic reference to Aadarsha Kutumbam.
Meanwhile, Aadarsha Kutumbam continues to struggle at the box office. The film received average word of mouth following its October 30 release and failed to build strong momentum over its opening weekend. Monday proved to be a major setback, with collections crashing to an estimated ₹4.25 crore gross worldwide. Its four-day worldwide total stands at approximately ₹56 crore against an estimated break-even target of ₹125 crore. With less than half the required recovery achieved and collections falling sharply, breakeven now looks highly unlikely. The film is very likely to end its theatrical run as a flop.
