Junior NTR was the Chief Guest of the Evening. Saagar (A.P. Film Directors Association President), 'Sravanthi' Ravi Kishore, Hero Ram, Heroine Ileana, Music Director Chakri, Lyricist Chandra Bose Cinematographer Madhu.A.Naidu, Villan Razakkar, Sekhar (U.S. Co-ordinator) and Jagdish (Suresh Movies Distributors) were the others who graced the occasion.
Junior NTR gave mementoes to the Director/Producer Y.V.S.Chowdary, Music Director Chakri, Lyricist Chandra Bose, hero Ram, heroine Ileana and Venkateshwara Rao (Ex. Producer).
Director Y.V.S.Chowdary said," It was commercially confusing success as far as I am concerned. Initially the film had a flop talk in the first week, and in the third week it had an average talk. From the fifth week the film ran to houseful crowds all over Andhra Pradesh. I was dumb found. I thank the Telugu audience for their co-operation in the making the film such a huge success. Ram and Ileana are going to become big stars in the days to come. The audio of the film has crossed six-lakh mark, which is a record among the Sankrathi releases this year. All the credit goes to music director Chakri. Lyricist Chandra Bose has given beautiful lyrics for the film. The film is heading towards Silver Jubilee in 16 to 17 centers".
Music Director Chakri said, "This is my first film with Y.V.S.Chowdary. In fact it was he who bought out the best in me. I thank him and lyricist Chandra Bose for giving good lyrics for my tunes. I also thank the audience for making the film and the audio such a big hit. I hope the film will run for 200 days".
Hero Ram and heroine Ileana thanked the audience for their support in making the film such a big hit. They both thanked Director Y.V.S.Chowdary for giving them a break in his film.
Lyricist Chandra Bose said,"The music of the film has given him immense satisfaction. I should thank Director Y. V.S.Chowdary for giving the opportunity to write lyrics for his film. It is one of best works in recent months".
Junior NTR started off on a nostalgic note saying that,"I also used to throw papers in the air for my uncle's films (Balakrishna) in my younger days at this very theater. Coming to the film it started having a great run at the box-office from the 5th week. According to my knowledge I have never heard of a film becoming such a super duper hit after having earned a flop talk initially. Thanks, to Chowdary who had the guts to produce such a big budget film with newcomers in the lead. He is one of the few directors who look for successful points, before going on to make a full-fledged film. The way he took work from my father (Nandamuri Harikrishna) in films like '?ÂÂ?Lahari Lahari Laharilo'?ÂÂ, and '?ÂÂ?Seethayya'?ÂÂ was simply superb. The stunts my father did in these two films were the best in his career. I wish all the best to the hero Ram for his future. About, Ileana what there is say, she is all over the place. The craze for her is growing day by day. In the Dugra Arts Film '?ÂÂ?Rakhi'?ÂÂ, she will be acting opposite me. In the near future, I will be working with Y.V.S.Chowdary. In all probability it will be '?ÂÂ?Okka Magadu'?ÂÂ."
