According to sources, the market price of the land at that time was approximately Rs 5 lakh per acre. As per the rule, the land should be strictly used for film related purposes. However Krishna sold a 5.3 acres to the land to third parties. Currently, the studio stands on just about 4 acres valued at anywhere between Rs 350 and Rs 450 crore as per the prevailing market rates.

There was a long stand controversy regarding this issue. Rangareddy district collector conducted a detail enquiry in to the issue and confirmed that the owners had violated the regulations.Now the collector had ordered Krishna to return back the 9 acres land to the government.
