A politician, Gandi Babji protested against the film because the character of Rahul Dev is called "Gaandipetta Babji" which is is somewhat similar to his name. Babji felt his name would be portrayed in bad light and he threatened to take action against film.
Before the release, Dasari Narayana Rao came down heavily on this film by calling it as a blantant copy of 'Baasha'. Dasari even tried to buy the distribution rights of the film but Ramcharan vehemently rejected instead he bought Viswaroopam to damage 'Naayak's collections.
