Seeing Mahesh Babu turn up for audio release functions etc., is a rare sight. Such a rarity took place on the evening of August 18, when the audio of Dookudu was released amid much fanfare at Shilpa Kala Vedika in Hyderabad. Not only did the Prince grace the event, he even spoke for more than 3 minutes much to the delight of his fans.

He looked quite relaxed as walked up the stage. Soon, we found him profusely expressing thanks for everyone who made Dookudu possible. The usually reticent and reserved Mahesh began by calling SS Thaman, Samantha, the producers (Ram Achanta and company), and Sreenu Vaitla onto the stage. And, looking at each one of them, he praised them for all the efforts they had put for the film.

Mahesh said that Thaman was the same man that he had always been and wished that he would achieve great heights in the industry. He described Samantha as the most dedicated female co-star he had ever worked with. Sreenu Vaitla as in for full praise from the star, who submitted that Vaitla was a remarkable talent.

The superstar said that it was a celebration to work for Dookudu for 9 months.
