"Although I have done many films, my thirst remains stronger than ever. I want to better the success of 'Akhanda'. 'VSR' is going to be an epic movie. Like some of my hits like 'Legend', this one too will become historic. Shruti Haasan is a beauty. Honey Rose played an important role. Duniya Vijay's talent is amazing. I think he is going to earn so much fame in Telugu. Ajay Ghosh and Saptagiri have also done nice. the fights by the Ram-Laxman duo and Venkat Master are so good. Thaman's music is wonderful. His BGM is outstanding. Sai Madhav Burra's dialogues are sharp. I thank my producers on this occasion. The Turkey schedule was a great experience," Balayya said.
Gopichand Malineni said, "Balakrishna garu is a man with a golden heart. I have made this film to reach the audience's best expectations. The producers, Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar, stood by me like a backbone. Shruti is my lucky heroine. Duniya Vijay is awesome. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar will be seen in a character named Banumathi. She locks horns with the hero. Ajay Ghosh, Chandrika Ravi and Saptagiri have done enjoyable roles. Burra's dialogues are extraordinary. Thaman has hit the ball out of the park with his BGM. During the shoot of the climax, Balayya garu had a fall, leaving me shocked. Much to our surprise, in no time, he got up and was ready for the next shot."
Shruti Haasan said, "Working with Mythri Movie Makers is a big opportunity. This is my third movie with director Gopichand. He is like my elder brother in the industry. I want to work with him again. It was great working with Balakrishna garu. Jai Balayya."
