Paruchuri Prasad said, “This is my fourth film. I expected this movie to become a hit, but such a stupendous success surprised us. My banner has become a part in this history. Chakri is my friend and he composed nice music. I was little tensed before the release, but had a huge sigh of relief on the day one with terrific mouth talk. It is not only doing well in India, but also received stupendous response in abroad including USA and Australia. Simha has collected a share of 26.45 crores in the first week. Ladies are also thronging to theatres from the day one. We controlled the piracy and it helped in collections. I am donating 5 lacs to Police welfare fund as a token of appreciation for taking strict action against piracy
