Soon enough, Ram Gopal Varma who's not known to be on excellent terms with the senior actor, tweeted, "WOW Mohammed Rafi and SPB are like junior artistes in singing ..The pulsing beat in his soothing emotional chords will rise the heart beat of listeners .its Othello’s Ballad mixed with Shankara Shastry and Mozart providing the musical landscape."

While Varma insists his praise was genuine, fans don't seem to think so, considering his past jibes at the actor, prompting the director to issue a clarification that read, "Some BAD people are thinking I am JOKING but I SWEAR on GOD and BALAYYA that I think this is the GREATEST SONG I heard since MUSIC was INVENTED..Am sure NTR in heaven is JUMPING in JOY."
