Without any speck of respect for the Censor Certificate issued by the CBFC, Andhra Pradesh government felt that the law and order situation in AP and Telangana will be troubled by this movie.
Worried about the film’s title “Valmiki” regarding which the Boya community is staging some protests saying that their sentiments are hurt as a villain is named with a great sage’s name, AP government issued orders to ban the film in Kurnool and Anantapur districts of the state. None would have expected such a step by AP government just a day before the film’s release.
Shocked by this decision, now director Harish Shankar and producers 14 Reels Plus are said to have taken a decision to change the title of the film to “Gaddalakonda Ganesh”. While the official press meet regarding this title change is yet to happen, sources have confirmed that already new designs are being made and posters with the new title will be printed by the night.
Also, the makers are doing change to film’s title motion graphics as well before sending the final harddisks.
