In an interview with Zoom, Adivi Sesh expressed that he was overwhelmed by the reaction and love of the people he has been receiving since the teaser dropped on Monday morning. “I am getting flooded."

Speaking about his character in the film, he added, "It's interesting to be able to pull off a rustic Madanapalle Telugu accent and then a rustic Hindi accent in two different versions of the same character. I'm glad people are enjoying the teaser and am really surprised by it as well.”

The actor also mentioned that someone had recently referred to the project as a modern-day Sholay, the legendary film starring Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan. He remarked that the project seemed to be heading in that direction and expressed hope that it would achieve similar success.
