I wanted to stop this film

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.'

Openings came

Bellamkonda Suresh added that Jr. NTR's star power managed to pull in good opening collections. However, the film itself failed to impress the audience. The movie featured Samantha and Pranitha Subhash, who had also starred in the hit film 'Attarintiki Daredi', as the heroines opposite Jr. NTR.
