Director Ram Gopal Varma revealed that Tiger KCR, which is a biopic of K Chandrasekhar Rao, is not anti-Andhra, but it exposes some people from the state who created circumstances for separation.
On April 19, Ram Gopal Varma had revealed that Tiger KCR is a biopic of K Chandrasekhar Rao and deals with the period from the time he could not bear the third class treatment being given to Telangana people by the Andhra people and how he fought in a fiery way to achieve Telangana state. It exposes the perspective of those who looked down upon him before what he achieved.
Ram Gopal Varma also stated that Tiger KCR will not show the people of Andhra as villains, but it will expose few people from Andhra who backstabbed the citizens of the state, by creating circumstances for separation.

Despite his clarification, Tiger KCR was publicized as an anti-Andhra film. Responding those, Ram Gopal Varma tweeted this morning, "The film #TIGERKCR is not going to be against Andhra People. It will be against only a few Andhra leaders who created humiliating situations for Telangana people KCR loved all Telugu people and his war was only with those Andhra Leaders who were backstabbing Telangana people."
