Speaking at the event, Jr NTR revealed his apprehensions about entering Hindi cinema. However, he received immense support from the cast and crew and was welcomed with open arms. He added that this movie is not just about NTR entering Bollywood, but also Hrithik entering Telugu cinema.

"I come from South India, and thanks to SS Rajamouli for erasing many boundaries between South and North, which are just films. But every South Indian has a doubt: ‘Kya accept karenge yeh log?’ But thank you, Hrithik Sir for accepting me with wide and open arms, and for that beautiful hug you gave me on the first day.
