However, there are allegations from fans that certain media houses backed by political parties have been badmouthing Sarkaru Vaari Paata and underreporting the collection of the film. Initially, many thought that the movie might have been targeted by a section of fans of other actors. However, now speculations are rife that the Telugu flick is being targeted by some at a larger level.
The speculations get credence after noted journalist tweeted a post on similar lines. "Efforts are fully on to undermine and show #SVP as a flop by certain media sections that are supported by a political party because of obvious reasons! Right from the day premieres started in USA to even today! Gastric trouble!! #SarkaruVaariPaata, [sic]" Idlebrain Jeevi tweeted.
