Plot

Cast

Controversy
[edit]The film was mired in controversy as a result of a creative dispute between the director and one of the scriptwriters, Jaya Kumar. This dispute eventually spiralled into lurid allegations of plagiarism, sexual harassment in the workplace, and improper compensation. This dispute resulted in a lawsuit filed against the director by Kumar in a civil court in India.[6]
A case was filed against Varma for obscenity, one day prior to the film's release, on a complaint by a social activist in Hyderabad. The complaint was registered against him for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form.[7][8]
Sequel
[edit]After positive reviews and critics, Ram Gopal Varma announced the sequel "GST2".[9][10]
