RGV, as the director is popularly known, wanted to address a press conference ahead of his film’s release in Andhra Pradesh on May 1. As a star hotel reportedly denied him the permission, he announced that he will address the media at NTR Circle.

The police said since prohibitory orders were in force in view of the Model Code of Conduct for ongoing Lok Sabha elections, no meeting can be allowed in public and hence they had to send the director back.

RGV is likely to address the media after reaching Hyderabad late in the evening.
