"This is not the first time I'm under threat. It has happened to me on several occasions. When in the history of assassinations have security guards been able to save anyone? The one who is determined to kill you will do so," said Varma, who is visiting his mother in the city.

Supporters of an alleged outlaw Ubala Reddy, who figures prominently in "Rakta Charitra", are not amused by the way their leader has been portrayed in Varma's film.
