Ravi Teja-starrer Rama Rao on Duty hit the theatres on July 29 and opened to poor reviews from the audience and critics alike. It was lambasted for a boring storyline and dull performances. Considering these difficult circumstances, Ravi has decided to return his remuneration to the makers, helping them recover costs.
According to reports, he had a word with Rama Rao on Duty producers regarding the decision. Apart from returning the fee, there are reports that Ravi will help makers with other expenses as well.

The killing happened in Seshachalam Forest in Tirumala hills. It is written and directed by Sarath Mandava. Tanikella Bharani, Chammak Chandra, Divyansha Kaushik, Pavithra Lokesh and others are there in Rama Rao on Duty.
