A letter written in both Telugu and English was circulated to media from the unit of Gautamiputra Satakarni which was allegedly written by SS Rajamouli. Rajamouli who has been an active user of Twitter/Facebook didn't mention anything about it on that day. In a series of tweets, SS Rajamouli has clarified that he didn't write that letter and it was done by the unit based on the interview he has done with Krish. However, he has also clarified that this tweet doesn't undermine the value or greatness of Gautamiputra Satakarni film.
