Jai Akash said that the scene was filmed enough times, and he slapped the assistant director after the assistant director did not agree.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 February 2005 |title=Bad boy Jai Akash |url=http://www.behindwoods.com/News/17-2-05/jaiakash_bad.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220622085014/http://www.behindwoods.com/News/17-2-05/jaiakash_bad.htm |archive-date=22 June 2022 |access-date=22 June 2022 |website=Behindwoods}}</ref>

The film was released in Telugu as ''Guru'' in June 2005. Since the Telugu version failed due to lack of publicity, Jai Akash went to the Telugu producer Muppa Ankanna Rao's house and threatened him. Akash was subsequently sent to jail and released after a compromise was made.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 July 2005 |title=Jai Akash arrested! |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/jai-akash-arrested-news-telugu-kkfv2odbhhj.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912220752/http://www.sify.com/movies/jai-akash-arrested-news-telugu-kkfv2odbhhj.html |archive-date=12 September 2012 |access-date=21 February 2022 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref>
