"Salutations to the Audience for Making 'Arjun S/O Vyjayanthi' a Big Hit! Kalyan Babu's Risk Paid Off Immensely" - Lady Superstar Vijayashanti at Blockbuster Success Meet
Nandamuri Kalyan Ram's emotional blockbuster "Arjun S/O Vyjayanthi," featuring Vijayashanti in a powerful role, has struck a chord with audiences. Directed by Pradeep Chilukuri and produced by Ashok Vardhan Muppa and Sunil Balusu under the Ashok Creations and NTR Arts banners, the film had a grand worldwide release on April 18th. It has been successfully running, entertaining audiences across all sections and achieving blockbuster status. To celebrate this success, the makers organized a grand Blockbuster Success Meet.
Speaking at the Blockbuster Success Meet, Lady Superstar Vijayashanti said, "Greetings to everyone. My salutations to the media who supported this film with their positive words and to the Telugu audience who have given this film such a grand success. Without the people, without the audience, there are no heroes or heroines. The entire credit for this film's success belongs to the audience. It is the audience who gives heroes and heroines their energy and keeps them going. We will cherish them in our hearts forever. It was a pleasure working with Srikanth Garu after many years. He can seamlessly fit into any role given to him. Babloo is like my brother; he portrays every character wonderfully. Director Pradeep handled every character with great balance. There's a scene in the climax that another hero might not have agreed to do. It's impossible for many due to image concerns. Kalyan Babu took a huge risk in this film and played a pivotal role in shaping the last 20 minutes brilliantly. Hats off to Babu for taking such a risk! My heartfelt congratulations to him. DOP Ram Prasad showcased everyone beautifully. I felt so happy when fans watched the first fight and said it was very new and wonderfully done, 'Akka'. Prithvi composed this fight. I had told him beforehand that having done so many fights, I wanted something new in this one. He composed and showed me five completely new movements. My thanks to him on this occasion. Also, thank you to Ramakrishna Master for choreographing the climax fight. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on this film, each by name. By God's grace, the audience loved this film. It's gratifying to see our hard work pay off. The producers mounted this film on a grand scale without compromising anywhere. Hats off to their guts. Women are coming to watch this film and are calling from many places, saying the film is excellent. It's a story filled with mother-son emotion. All the women are coming, watching, and enjoying this film. We wish every film should do well. Negative publicity for films is not right. Please, some of you, change your mindset a bit. Let the industry survive. Learn to wholeheartedly bless films. Don't spoil films. I wholeheartedly wish all heroes, directors, and producers well. No matter how many lies are told, the truth will ultimately prevail. This film will win. I've developed a great bond with Kalyan Babu through this film. From day one, he called me 'Amma' and showed so much love and affection. Babu has done an amazing job in this film. On this occasion, I want to thank Junior NTR Garu. He spoke so beautifully at the event that day. He made me sit in the place of a father and called me 'Amma'. May you be well, Babu. Once again, my gratitude to Junior NTR Garu and his fans, Kalyan Babu and his fans, and the people of both states and my fans. I wholeheartedly wish this film becomes an even bigger hit."
Hero Nandamuri Kalyan Ram said, "Greetings to everyone. My heartfelt thanks to the audience and Nandamuri fans who have given us such a big success, each by name. The Telugu audience has always been at the forefront of supporting us if we deliver a good film. I said the same thing during the 'Bimbisara' time. The audience has once again proven that. My sincere gratitude to them. It felt very happy when the distributors called and said that the film would break even by Tuesday or Wednesday and thanked us so much for delivering such a good film. Pradeep told me on the first day of narration that this is a pure and out-and-out commercial film. He has a good taste in commercial filmmaking. Even in commercial cinema, novelty entertains the audience. The reason why the audience is so connected to the last 20 minutes of this film is the way the director emotionally narrated this story. Thank you, Pradeep, for providing such a good story. It felt very happy seeing Prithvi Garu on screen. Cinema is a theatrical experience. There should be excitement when watching it on the big screen. Thank you to Srikanth Vissa for such a climax. Raghuram wrote the emotional songs wonderfully in this film. Ramakrishna Master is there in every film of our banner. My son watched the film and said, 'Dad, these are the best action sequences in your film.' Thank you to all the fight masters. Ram Prasad Garu is the DOP for 'Athanokkade' as well. We worked together again on this film after many years. He has the same energy now as he did back then. The first person to say that the climax of this film is extraordinary was Srikanth Garu. It was a pleasure working with Srikanth Garu. Thank you to our producers Ashok and Sunil, who worked tirelessly with the constant desire for the film to be excellent and achieve a good victory. I want to do my next film also under their banner. Thank you to Ajaneesh for the wonderful background score. This film wouldn't exist if Amma (Vijayashanti) hadn't done it. Amma is the main pillar of this film. When I heard this story, a real-life incident came to my mind. I didn't know my mother's birthday until I was 13 years old. While trying to find out, I learned she was born on Sankranti. After looking at all the almanacs, we found out her birthday is January 15th. From then until now, there hasn't been a single year where I haven't celebrated my mother's birthday. That point connected with me deeply when I heard this story. We wouldn't exist without our parents. We should be indebted to them for life. We should take that as our responsibility. Vijayashanti Garu is the right person to play such a great character. God himself convinced Amma through this story. My heartfelt gratitude to Amma. The reason we are speaking today is the success given to us by the audience and Nandamuri fans. I will be indebted to you for life. Thank you everyone. Johar NTR... Johar Harikrishna... Jai Hind."
Actor Srikanth said, "Thank you to all the audience who made this film a success. Congratulations to the producers, director, and the entire team. I played a key role in this film. The director treated the film like a very experienced director. This is like walking on a sword's edge. Pradeep handled it very wonderfully. We used to enjoy watching Vijayashanti Garu's films a lot. It was a pleasure working with Vijayashanti Garu after so many years. She has the same energy now as she did back then. There was a very positive vibe on set throughout the working hours. Everyone should learn that dedication. I always wish Vijayashanti Garu continues to do films. It's my first time working with Kalyan Garu. He is a very down-to-earth person and has a lot of respect for seniors. Hats off to Kalyan Ram Garu. He did this film with a lot of dedication and portrayed the feeling of a real mother and son. It's very happy to come up with such a good commercial film. I wish him to do many more good films."
Producer Ashok Vardhan Muppa said, "We didn't even expect such a big success. We are very happy that the audience gave such a big success. This is a mother-son emotional story. The reason for this success is Kalyan Ram Garu and Vijayashanti Garu who played those roles. Many thanks to them. It is because of their performances that this film has achieved such a huge victory. Director Pradeep crafted this film wonderfully. My heartfelt thanks to editor Thammiraju Garu, music director Ajaneesh Garu, the fight masters, DOP Ram Prasad Garu, and everyone who worked on this film."
Director Pradeep Chilukuri said, "Greetings to everyone. We have achieved what we set out to with this film. It felt very happy when the audience said every sequence was good. They are saying the climax gives goosebumps. Thank you to Kalyan Ram Garu for agreeing to such a climax. This film wouldn't exist if he hadn't believed in it. Thank you to Prithvi Garu and Srikanth Garu. Vijayashanti Madam worked very hard and performed wonderfully. Our fight masters designed the action wonderfully. Ajaneesh did a very good background score. Our editor Thammiraju Garu supported us from the beginning. The audience reviews for the film are amazing. The audience liked the film very much. Thank you to everyone who worked on this film, each by name."
Actor Prudhvi Raj said, "Thank you everyone. Every shot I did is there in this film. That gives a great joy to an artist. I got this film offer after 'Animal'. When this character was narrated to me, it felt like a character with a lot of scope for performance. Thank you to Kalyan Ram Garu. Thank you to the director for giving me such a good character. This film is the best film in my career. Thank you very much everyone."
Stunt Master Ramakrishna said, "Greetings to everyone. The audience is enjoying this film immensely. I couldn't control my emotions seeing the audience's reactions. As NTR Garu said, the audience was stunned by the last 20 minutes. They stood up and clapped in the theaters. Thank you to Kalyan Ram Garu, the producers, and the director for giving me this opportunity."
Lyric Writer Raghuram said, "Greetings to everyone. Such good films come very rarely. I consider it a privilege to write single cards for this film. Thank you to Kalyan Ram Garu, the producers, and the director for giving me such a good opportunity. Everyone who loves mothers will love this film. This film will always be memorable for me. Thank you to our entire team for giving such a good journey."
Writer Srikanth said, "We all worked hard for this film. But the belief that carried the film forward was Kalyan Garu's. My heartfelt thanks to all the Telugu cinema audience who upheld that belief. It felt very happy seeing the response in the theaters. Thank you to our director, our producers, Vijayashanti Garu, Srikanth Garu, and everyone. We could see this success today because of the contribution of the entire team."
