Ramanaidu, the producer of the film said, “As I mentioned earlier ‘Bendu Appa Rao’ is going to be one of the biggest hits in Naresh’s career. Even though there were many successful films under Suresh Productions I am very happy to see this success particularly because the movie is gaining popularity through mouth talk.

“Ramanaidu garu is a God father to our family because he was the one who gave a good break to my father, brother and me as well. This is the first film in my career which got huge openings. I am very happy to note that my film will be in the hit list of Suresh Productions”, said Naresh.

AVS opined that ‘Bendu Appa Rao RMP’ will become the next biggest hit of the year after ‘Magadheera’.

Ahuti Prasad, who stole the show in the film, says that his role is similar to the one he played in ‘Chandamama’.

It is learnt that Hansika has been roped in to cast opposite All Arjun. Well! She is yet to sign the film even though she gave her nod. The film is progressing at brisk pace and is expected to release for Sankranthi.

Jagapathi Babu while speaking, “This is a conceptual film which I was longing to do for quite some time. The title is very attractive and I am lucky to work with one such banner. Athulith gave a wonderful performance. It is a family drama and the audience will get complete 2 hours entertainment.” Says director Arun Prasad, “The film speaks about the father-son relationship where the son imagines his father as a big hero. We dealt the subject in a humorous manner, especially the role that Neelima played reminds everyone the yesteryear’s Suryakantham. We completed the film as per the schedule. I am very sure that the film will set a new trend in Telugu film industry.

Neelima said, “My role in this film is very chanllenging. Since I’m a Telugu speaking girl I was able to dub my own voice with the help of my seniors.”

Srikanth announced an amount of Rs 1 lakh to Film Critics Association and handed over the cheque to President Prabhu. He said, “The media played a vital role in the growth of my film career. My relationship with journalists is very strong right from the beginning of my career. This is one of the happiest events in my life which cannot be forgotten.”

Dr Dasari Narayana Rao announced, “This committee has been formed from all departments of the Telugu film industry. We are declaring holidays on 5th, 6th and 7th of November, hence there will not be any shootings during those three days. Even the Tamil film industry is showing interest in lending their helping hand and not to speak of Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, who is ready to make his presence felt. Even though the film stars belong to different political parties, all are one when they belong to film industry. Hence I request the media not to put out controversial books and make cash out of it.
