If it was not enough, those who attended the event found themselves without arranged accommodations. Ramesh Aravind, B Suresha, Shylaja Nag, Vani Harikrishna, A Harsha and Ragini Dwivedi along with other film personalities encountered challenges during the hotel check-out process.

Organizers had not settled the bills and had locked the rooms. However, the police intervention became necessary for them to finally depart for the airport.
