Producer Allu Aravind Praises Team and Audience
At the "Single" Blockbuster Success Meet, producer Allu Aravind expressed his delight: "Seeing the laughter from the audience in theaters makes me incredibly happy. After witnessing the film's success, I immediately called Sree Vishnu and offered him a check for two more films under Geetha Arts. I was that impressed with him as a person and an actor. I sincerely thank all the audiences who proved that they will come to theaters if a film is good. Director Karthik Raju has done an amazing job with this film. My journey with Vishnu will continue much further. I couldn't understand the dialogues he spoke between dialogues (laughs). Vennela Kishore has become a bit closer to me with this film; it's almost come to the point of seeking personal advice. Ketika and Ivana performed fantastically. Vishal Chandrasekhar gave wonderful music to the film, making it very engaging. It was very delightful to see all the young directors come and celebrate this success. Thank you to all of them. Vidya is like my daughter, and I'm happy she achieved success with this film. I thank every technician and artist who worked on this film by name. Thank you so much to all the audiences who came to theaters this summer and enjoyed it wonderfully."
Sree Vishnu on His Journey and the Film's Success
Hero Sree Vishnu shared his thoughts: "Director Karthik Raju narrated this story to me three years ago. Before that, about 15 people had rejected this story, so thank you to all of them too (laughs). We made this film with great passion. Thank you to Vennela Kishore Garu for sharing in my passion (laughs). Aravind Garu, Vidya Garu, Riyaz Garu, and Bhanu Garu supported us immensely from the beginning of the film. I thought it would be great if this film with such a good team succeeded, and it did. God is there. If you do anything honestly and sincerely, God will grant it to you. I really enjoyed this film's success and my journey with Aravind Garu. I strongly wished for this film to succeed, even if it was just for Vidya Garu. Working with Director Karthik Raju Garu was a wonderful experience. Thank you to my entire direction team and every member of our team by name. Thank you very much to the audience for giving us such a big blockbuster after many years. Thank you to all our media friends who supported this film wonderfully. Ketika and Ivana breathed life into their characters. I wish them to do many good films and achieve even bigger hits. People will continue to watch this film. They will enjoy the film for a long time. As I said before, this film was made purely for laughter. It makes me very happy to see all of you laughing so much in theaters. Once again, heartfelt thanks to the audience for giving us such a big blockbuster."
Industry Personalities Celebrate "Single"
Vennela Kishore added: "Hello everyone. I really enjoyed spending time with Allu Aravind Garu. He gives wonderful solutions to every problem. Director Karthik is a very genuine person. He made the film very honestly. I can't forget my journey with Sree Vishnu Garu. From the beginning, he told me I was the second hero in this film. A person like him is very rare. Without him, Aravind's character wouldn't have gotten such a good elevation. I want to work with him in more films. Ivana and Ketika performed fantastically. Thanks to the producers and every member of the team by name."
Producer Vidya expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much to Aravind uncle for this opportunity. Thank you to the audience and media for making this such a good summer hit. Vishnu Garu and Vennela Kishore Garu made the audience laugh non-stop. Ketika and Ivana acted wonderfully. The entire team supported us greatly. Thank you to everyone on the team."
Director Vamshi Paidipally congratulated the "Single" team: "Bringing audiences to theaters these days is not easy. The response this film is receiving makes me very happy. Big congratulations to Director Karthik. Allu Aravind Garu is a very positive person. Traveling with him, you learn many things about life. The energy he gives is amazing. All the technicians who worked on this film did a wonderful job. Sree Vishnu Garu and Kishore Garu absolutely rocked it. Their energy was mesmerizing. Thank you to Sree Vishnu and Vennela Kishore for entertaining like Vijay Sethupathi. All the very best to the producers. Thank you to Aravind Garu for bringing such good producers to the industry. Big congratulations to Geetha Arts for hitting a hat-trick."
Actress Ketika Sharma shared: "Hello everyone. I feel fortunate to have acted in this film. Thank you to Aravind Garu for this opportunity. Thanks to the producers. Thank you to Director Karthik Garu for giving me such a good character. Sree Vishnu Garu is my favorite co-star. I have a lot of respect for the films he does. Thank you to every member of the team by name. Thank you to all the audiences for giving such a good success."
Producer SKN remarked: "Big congratulations to Geetha Arts for achieving a hat-trick with 'Ay Tandela,' 'Single' films. Geetha Arts never believes in seasons, it believes in the reason, which is content. Geetha Arts always encourages talent. Thanks to Aravind Garu for that. While watching this film, people are whistling and cheering in theaters. It's very difficult to see such a vibe in theaters. Such laughter comes when there is good content. Director Karthik Raju wonderfully captured the Telugu pulse and made this film. Thank you and congratulations to everyone who achieved grand success with this film. Many promising directors today have come through films starring Sree Vishnu Garu. Thanks to Sree Vishnu Garu for encouraging such good talent and bringing new talent into the industry. I hope 'Single's' success will continue to be even more amazing."
Producer Bunny Vas added: "From this stage, I sincerely thank Allu Aravind Garu. We are here only because of his support. If the 'Single' film is running wonderfully in theaters, the reason is Sree Vishnu, Vennela Kishore Garu, and Director Karthik Raju. This film's success has been very beneficial to the entire industry. This film saved this month. If laughter is heard more than dialogues in a theater, then that film is a super hit. Many audiences told us that in 'Single,' they couldn't hear the dialogues, only the laughter of those sitting next to them. That is proof of its success. Congratulations to the entire team."
Director Karthik Raju extended his thanks: "Thanks to Allu Aravind Garu and the producers. I narrated the story to Sree Vishnu Garu three years ago, and he has been very supportive since then. I am a big fan of Kishore Garu. I wrote that character imagining him. I cannot forget his support. Thank you to everyone who worked on this film by name. I will never forget this film in my life."
Producer Bhanu stated: "Thank you very much to the audience for making the film such a big success. Thank you to Vasu Garu and Vishnu Garu. Aravind Garu is our godfather. Without him, we would not be on this stage. Heartfelt thanks to him."
Producer Riyaz began: "Firstly, thank you to Allu Aravind Garu. This is my third film with him, a very successful journey. It's been a great learning experience. Thank you to Vidya Garu and Vasu Garu. This film wouldn't exist without Sree Vishnu Garu and Vennela Kishore Garu. Thank you to everyone by name."
Director Anil Ravipudi congratulated: "Biggest congratulations to Aravind Garu. Success is very essential for the industry right now, and at such a time, Geetha Arts has delivered two hits. Vishnu is a very close buddy of mine. I want to know how he discovered the language he uses. Vishnu has a lot of potential. I will definitely use his timing in the future. Sree Vishnu and Vennela Kishore's timing was amazing. Kishore promoted this film very well. This is the time to celebrate every film's success. You must definitely watch this film this summer."
Director Thirumala Kishore shared: "I watched the 'Single' film. I kept laughing from beginning to end. Sree Vishnu and Kishore Garu's timing is amazing. Congratulations to the entire team."
Director Vivek Athreya commented: "Congratulations to the entire team for hitting a blockbuster with 'Single.' Sree Vishnu and Vennela Kishore Garu's timing in this film was amazing. Directors feel Sree Vishnu's success as their own film's success. Sree Vishnu believed in the story of 'Brochevarevarura'. All the appreciation that film received goes to Sree Vishnu. Thank you to Sree Vishnu for giving such courage."
Director Hasith Goli stated: "Recently, such a hilarious entertainer has come only with 'Single.' The director made the film wonderfully. Audiences are enjoying Vishnu's energy. Thank you to the entire team for hitting a good blockbuster. All the best to everyone."
Director Ram Abbaraju said: "Sree Vishnu's film success feels like a personal success to me. Congrats to the entire team. I wish for a good hit like this every Friday."
Music Director Vishal Chandrasekhar concluded: "Hello everyone. Thank you to Director Karthik Raju Garu. I came into this project because of him. Thank you to my entire music team. This film is a very memorable experience for me. The producers supported me greatly. It made me very happy that the film achieved such a grand success.
