However, just before the start of the film, rama rao became very busy with politics. After some time he became the chief minister of the state of Andhra Pradesh. With this, Sathaakarni's film stopped before it started. If venkatesh and ntr had done an ambitious Sathkarni movie together would it have been a blockbuster hit? But unfortunately, venkatesh missed the Golden Chance of making a multi-starer movie with NTR.

Director krish co-produced "Gauthamiputra Satkarni" with balakrishna with the same film story. Sathaakarni's son Pulomavi's role in the film has been removed. However, the Gautamiputra Satthakarni film, which came out with a huge budget amidst huge expectations, became a hit. However, there were criticisms at the time that the film would have been a super-duper hit if the same story had been screened with another hero.
