The director tweeted, "My next telugu film title is "KAMMA RAAJYAM LO KADAPA REDLU" ..It will be entirely shot in Vijayawada and Amaravathi and will be produced by Rakesh Reddy in the same combination of #LakshmisNTR."

His announcement angered many people from Kamma community, who expressed their displeasure over his film in their reply to him. After seeing their outburst, Ram Gopal Varma took to his Twitter page to set the things right. He said that Kamma Rajyam Lo Kadapa Redlu does not target any caste.

@RGVzoomin if u don't believe in caste, why u have named ur movie (#KammaRajyamLoKadapaRedlu) like that? Why ur movie name includes two castes? U have grudge on ncbn, may be u have ur own issues with ncbn, but involving two castes in is very very bad. Don't criticize any cast

Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter last night and shared a couple of statements in Telugu He alleged that he was getting many threat calls from unidentified people from unexpected foreign destinations like Latvia. His number was shared on whatsapp groups. He dared his detractors and told that he is not afraid of those threat calls. As a director he likes to speak openly and none can stop me from doing it.
