We learned everything here. 'Krishna Gadu...' is amazing. Its music is so good, so also its cinematography," he added.
Producer Petla Raghuram Murthy said that the film has been made over a period of two and a half years. A software engineer by professional, the US-based Raghuram wants to produce meaningful movies. "In 'Krishna Gadu..', we have shown the conflict that comes if even small joys are snatched away from a person's life. Rishvi is a mass hero," he added.
Director Rajesh Dondapati praised the guts of the film's producer.
Hero Rishvi Thimmaraju said that his maternal grandparents have encouraged him always, for they recognized his passion for acting. "Director Rajesh Dondapati is the hero of this movie. The heroine was very cooperative. Together, we have ensured onscreen magic," the new hero added.
Heroine Vismaya Sri extended her thanks to the director and the film's producers. She wondered if she will ever get to play the kind of well-rounded character that she got to play in the August 4th release.
