Sai Dharam Tej, Aishwarya Rajesh's Republic directed by Deva Katta hit the screens today across the world. The film is getting a good response from all quarters and people are hailing the makers for the bold and powerful take on the corruption rooted at all levels in Indian politics, judiciary, and bureaucracy.
Republic team got a huge shock in Andhra Pradesh as YSRCP leaders and supporters stopped the Republic screening in Narasanna Peta, Srikakulam district. They not only stopped the film's screening but also sent people who came to watch the film.
It is known that huge controversy has been created by Pawan Kalyan's blistering attack on the YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh at the Republic pre-release event. Though the makers said they got nothing to do with politics, YSRCP leaders demanded Pawan Kalyan apologise for his comments and stopped the film's screening across the state of Andhra Pradesh.
