Lekin itna acha Movie, excellent movie banana vo bhi Telegu main Hindi main Malayalam chhod dijiye vo toh that isn’t worthy, ye original kiya hai na ye team ko mai congratulate karta hu.
Itna achese kiya hai na hum toh dukh bhi bhool jaate hai, vo ek baat thha ki sablog soch rahe the ke Sandeep gaya aur mar gaya per aisa nahi hai. Apne anth saas tak vo fight kiya hai aur uske baad bhi vo fight kiya hai aur abhi itne logo ko motivation kar raha hai. The entire team deserves very very very good appreciation. Even the sound system, the acting, direction, the editing, so they came to my house and then they have copied all the photographs and the photographs you can see there. It was in a very bad shape but they have made it everything very good and excellent and I’m proud that I started my career at Hyderabad and I lived with Sandeep in Hyderabad when he was in police hosting. In old Hydrabad we have spent time and here I’m spending time with my boys. I’m proud to be in Hyderabad and baar baar aaunga. Thankyou!”
