This film holds a special place in my heart and seeing the outpouring of love from around the world makes it even more special. First and foremost, I want to thank my fellow cast members, Saif Sir, Janhvi, Prakash Raj Garu, Srikanth Garu, and all the other actors, for breathing life into their characters so ably and giving our story wings.”

Jr NTR also gave a special mention to the technicians of the film, mainly Anirudh Ravichander, whose score is being highly appreciated. He underlined the contribution of the team and wrote, “Anirudh, what can I say? The world is talking about what he has done for the movie. Rathnavel Sir made each frame stunning. Sabu Sir for the great production design, Yugandhar Garu for the VFX, Sreekar Prasad Garu for the edit and all the technicians for shaping the product in the best possible way!”
