At this stage, his family wants him to settledown with married bliss and he falls in love with Sara (Nikki). But a single mistake ruins the relationship. What follows next forms the crux of the story.

The makers were hoping that Charlie Chaplin 2 would do well at the box office in the days to come. With the movie being hit by piracy, the business of the film at the box office is likely to be impacted.

Piracy has badly affected not only Kollywood but film industries across the world. Although many strict measures and policies have been implemented by governments, none of them has been successful in curbing this menace.

Almost all big movies make it to the internet within a day of their release. While some movies made their way to the internet (with good or poor print quality) within a day of release, there have been instances when some movies were leaked online even before they hit theatres.

All the movies released in the recent months have hit torrent sites.
