With its release slated for July 18th, the makers recently held a pre-release press meet and organized a press premiere, which received an overwhelming response.
Rana Daggubati: Authenticity and Support for Passionate Filmmakers
At the pre-release press meet, movie presenter Rana Daggubati shared his thoughts: "Hello everyone. I believe you all liked 'Kothapallilo Okappudu.' When such a film comes, there's always the thought of how to promote it and how to take it to the people. Showing the film during a pre-release event happens perhaps only sometimes. When I first watched this film, all the characters appeared very lively. They all felt like characters we know, characters around us. Director Praveena is a cardiologist. She made this film while continuing her practice. Similarly, Manoj also has a job. They made this film, going against the idea that one has to leave everything to make a film."
He continued, "Thank you to Praveena for giving such a good film. I wish she makes many more good films like this. Manoj looks like a great hero. I liked him a lot when I saw him on screen. He is a good actor. If there is a good film and filmmakers with a good vision, I will bring them to you. It is your responsibility to take this film to the people. Thank you all very much. The film is releasing on July 18th. I definitely hope everyone watches and supports the film."
Director Praveena Paruchuri: A First as Director, A Plea for Theatrical Support
Director Praveena Paruchuri expressed her joy: "Hello everyone. Watching this film with you all is a very special occasion. If you like it, please definitely tell your friends and family. This is my third film as a producer and my first film as a director. Because you encouraged C/O Kancharapalem, I was able to make this film now. C/O Kancharapalem reached the public because of Rana Garu. For big production houses like Rana Garu's to support films made by filmmakers like me, audiences must come and support by watching in theaters."
She urged audiences not to miss it: "Many people said they missed Kancharapalem in theaters. Please do not miss this film in theaters. Please do watch it. I made this film with faith in you. I hope you all support us. Thank you to all the actors and technicians who worked on this film. Characters like Ramakrishna and Appanna Reddy Garu have all come to life wonderfully on screen. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on this film. Thank you to Rana Garu for wonderfully supporting this film. I wish to work with them on more films. Thank you so much to Rana Garu for this opportunity."
Hero Manoj Chandra: Director's Vision and Audience Validation
Hero Manoj Chandra shared his perspective: "Hello everyone. The Ramakrishna you are seeing in this film was not like this initially. The credit for wonderfully creating Ramakrishna goes to Director Praveena Garu. The entire team worked hard for the film. My thanks to Rana Garu for recognizing our hard work. Today, it has been proven once again that if a film is made with hard work and honesty, audiences will always support it. Your response was amazing. Thank you so much for accepting me. Love you all."
Supporting Cast's Positive Impressions
Actor Ravindra Vijay stated, "Hello everyone. Thank you to Praveena for introducing me to Telugu cinema. She gave me a good role in this film. I watched this film for the first time, and some magic happened on screen. I hope you all liked it. Tell your friends and families. Everyone watch the film in theaters."
Actor Banerji added, "Hello everyone. I watched the film today, and it is very fresh. I have done many films. But watching it on screen, the new actors in this film appeared very fresh. The credit for this goes to the director. I hope you all come to theaters, watch, and enjoy it." The entire movie unit participated in this pre-release press meet.
