NTR's confidence
But Jr. NTR was very confident. He told the producer, 'No, the movie is coming out really well. You will understand once it's fully complete. You can't judge a film by seeing it in parts.' Suresh said, 'When they were so confident, what could I do? I just left it. Just as I had thought, 'Rabhasa' was a big disappointment.'
