The craze and curiosity for Ram Gopal Varma aka RGV's Lakshmi's NTR have forced some viewers from Andhra Pradesh to travel to Telangana, Karnataka and other states to watch it.

Lakshmi's NTR is a biographical movie on the life of former united Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister NT Rama Rao. The controversial subject featured in its promos had generated a lot of hype for the film. Many viewers in Andhra Pradesh were eager to watch it. But the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) got its release banned in the state in the last minutes, claiming that it affect voters in the assembly elections.

The High Court had issued the order to Ram Gopal Varma on Thursday evening to stop the release of Lakshmi's NTR in Andhra Pradesh till the elections are over. The distributors and exhibitors, who were apparently aware of the TDP's petition on the film, had not opened advance booking before its release. The upset viewers from AP kept requesting the director on Twitter to immediately open bookings.

Some viewers from Vijayawada and Kurnool enjoyed the film in Hyderabad on its opening day. Later, they took to Twitter to share their excitement with Ram Gopal Varma.

However, this sudden plans of some viewers travel to Hyderabad and Bangalore has created a problem for the regular commuters, who are struggling to find bus tickets. A few of them shared their issue on Twitter.
