After this, the trailer was released on YouTube for the public. Within an hour of its release, the trailer managed to get 2 lakh views.

The trailer depicts the story of an actor turned politician called 'Power Star’, and RGV has claimed that it is not regarding any real life person. The trailer offers a sneak peek into the life of the actor, after he loses in the state general elections. Despite the disclaimer, Pawan Kalyan's fans are upset about the film. The lead actor goes by the name of 'Prawan Kalyan' and is also modelled closely on Pawan Kalyan in the film. Fans on social media have hit back by announcing a film called Parannageevi which is about a 'Reckless Genetic Virus' (RGV). 

The movie poster of Power Star shows a glass with the tagline ‘the story after the election result’. 

Ram Gopal Varma is known for his controversial scripts, depicting the life of popular film stars, political personalities and people whose lives are in the news cycle.

Though there are restrictions on film shootings amid the rising number of coronavirus cases, RGV has released a few movies through the pay per view model on his app and website.
