Director Maruthi said, “ Getting the opportunity to work with Prabhas is something he will always be grateful for.

He added that based on feedback from fans, Prabhas’ old-getup scenes and an eight-minute rooftop fight sequence have been added from today evening’s shows. Portions that were perceived as lengthy have also been sharpened. From today’s evening shows onward, audiences will see what he described as the “real Raja Saab” on screen. He expressed confidence that fans will be satisfied and wished success to all films releasing during the Sankranthi season. He also revealed that several industry friends, including Allu Arjun, personally called to congratulate him.
