Dr Totambittu lodged a police complaint that his life was in danger, as he was receiving threatening calls. He also called a press conference to state that people abroad were not interested in Raaj, The Showman and that many overseas distributors had backed out.

"There was no written agreement between the producer and me to release the movie," he said. "Prem has made false accusations and I will file a defamation suit against him."

Raaj, The Showman will soon be released abroad by a corporate company called Bevin Exports India (P) Ltd. 

According to a press release, the film will be released in Singapore on September 27 and subsequently in Australia on October 4. The film will then travel to New Zealand, USA, Dubai, Malaysia, UK and South Africa. The release dates for these countries have not been fixed yet. The company has earlier released Kannada films Abhi, Akash, Mungarumale, Galipata and Rama Shama Bhama abroad.
