Director Anil Ravipudi expressed his gratitude to fans through a post on his X account, thanking them for their support that has propelled the film’s success. He shared a celebratory poster featuring himself and Chiranjeevi, highlighting the impressive box office collection with the words “200 crore” boldly displayed behind them.
A gathering was held by the cast and crew to commemorate the film’s achievements.
