On March 26, 2025, CPM leaders and local affected families staged a protest at Ramoji Film City, alleging that the management unlawfully encroached on lands designated for the poor. The protest escalated into confrontations, with detentions and physical altercations, as activists demanded that RFC allocate alternative housing plots for those displaced.

Local farmers in the Abdulapurmmet region protested on February 21, 2025, demanding that Ramoji Film City return lands alleged to have been encroached upon. The protest, organized under the aegis of left-wing groups, raises serious concerns over unethical business practices impacting marginalized communities.

Protesters, including marginalized groups, demonstrated outside the collectorate against Ramoji Film City's management for allegedly withholding lands allotted to the poor since 2007 and erecting barriers that prevent access to their rightful property.

A CPM state executive committee member, John Wesley, has accused Ramoji Film City of grabbing land meant for poor communities. The allegation claims that despite government intentions to allocate land for the underprivileged, Ramoji Rao has maneuvered to block access, prompting threats of a siege on the film city unless proper measures are taken.
