* Gopichand Malineni said, "Teju delivered extraordinary performance. His timing in comedy was terrific. Jagapathi Babu and his combo scenes were quite emotional. I feel Teju as my own brother". 

* Addressing to the gathering Sai praised every artist and technician who worked for the film. He recalled Power Star Pawan Kalyan's words," Awards do not matter.

SIDELIGHTS:

* Sai Dharam Tej looked handsome while Rakul looked dazzling in sari. Anasuya, as usually, looked super hot in styling and her attires.  

* Although numerous guests attended the event, no chief guest was specially invited by the team.

* Chota K Naidu's remarks and harsh criticism on villain Anup shocked the audience. Being the most talented senior technician, he should have been balanced in delivering his speech.
