Speaking about the highly competitive weekend, Venkatesh asserted how he has seen through multiple Sankranti releases through his career, making this one no different. He also wished each of the film's releasing good luck. He said, "This situation is temporary. I’ve witnessed numerous Sankranti releases, and this one is no different, albeit packed with multiple film releases. However, this doesn’t warrant excessive concern. It’s a brief period, and I hope each movie enjoys success at the box office."
