The pre-release event of 'Bubblegum' was held on Sunday ahead of the film's theatrical release on December 29. 'Bubblegum Warriors', those who worked on the twenty-four crafts, were given their due by all the key speakers on the occasion. Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Adivi Sesh, Vishwak Sen and others graced the occasion as guests.
Speaking on the occasion, debutant actor Roshan Kanakala thanked the guests. He joked with his mother Suma, the host, saying that he grew up watching her shows and events. "Ravikanth Perepu has done a fantastic job as a director, writer and editor. Sricharan Pakala's music is crazy. The interval block is so emotional that the theatre is going to have a blast. The cinematography has taken the quality of our film a notch higher. Maanasa Chaudhary has been a fantastic co-star. I respect her for the hard work she has put in. You are going to fall in love with her character, Janhvi. Everybody's performance is so realistic," Roshan said.
Roshan added that his dark-skinned complexion is not a handicap. "We don't know what is in our destiny. We have to work hard for our self-respect and success. I will stay the course and make myself count. This December 29, take it from me, you are going to witness Aadi gadu's fight for Izzat," Roshan said, referring to his character in the movie.
Vishwak Sen said, "Every person in the film industry wants Roshan to win. That's because he is the son of the much-loved individuals, Suma garu and Rajeev Kanakala garu. I am happy for director Ravikanth. I am confident that the year is going to end on a high note, thanks to 'Bubblegum'."
'DJ Tillu' actor Siddhu said, "Roshan is looking bloody terrific in the trailer. His dialogue delivery, his intensity, and his moves are bloody good. The frames look colourful. My elder brother has played a role in this movie. He was in the US for 10 years but he returned to India to pursue his passion. I hope this film sticks to you like a bubblegum."
Adivi Sesh said, "I think 'Bubblegum' is a beautiful film. My guru, Abburi Ravi garu, has guided this film at some level. I can see the beautiful glint in the eyes of Roshan's parents today. There is a 'you can realize your dreams' vibe about this movie."
Director Ravikanth Perepu thanked Maheshwari Movies for providing him with all the resources. He thanked People Media Factory for presenting the movie. "Love and self-respect are the themes of 'Bubblegum'," he added.
Presenter TG Vishwa Prasad said that Roshan is not a quiet person but an energetic performer.
Actress Maanasa said, "As a debutante, I feel lucky to have landed a role like this in a movie like this. I thank everyone who has extended their support to me."
