Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' has become a Sankranthi winner and the makers of the film today held a Thank You meet. Attended by Allu Arjun, Trivikram Srinivas and other cast and crew members, the event saw some sincere speeches.

Ram-Lakshman duo said that the failure of 'Naa Peru Surya' made Bunny work with a vengeance. "The Chunni fight and other fights have been lapped up by the class audience as well. There are no screams, shouts in the fights. Everything is classy. We thank Trivikram garu for taking us to the hearts of the class audience as well," they added.

Brahmanandam, who has a cameo in the film, said, "I did the cameo in the movie for a reason. When I underwent a heart surgery last year, Bunny visited me and told me I will be seen in his next movie. Trivikram Srinivas garu too visited me and said much the same. I appreciate them for keeping their promise. Bunny has got this great quality from his grandfather, who, more than 35 years ago, happened to advise me to never speak about some other hero in front of a hero. Just as Allu Aravind garu loved and continues to love his late father, his son loves him that way."

Sunil said, "The audience are enjoying the humour in the movie. The boardroom scene has become a rage. I thank Trivikram, who adopted me 25 years ago, and Bunny garu. Since this movie has released in Malayalam as well, I have debuted in Mollywood this Sankranthi. I am very happy."

Rajendra Prasad said, "I am happy that I have got two releases this Sankranthi. After Jandhyala garu's passing away, God has gifted the film industry with Trivikram Srinivas to keep the audience engaged.

Navdeep said, "Allu Arjun works hard always and doesn't take his lineage for granted. He gives time to fans for one or two hours every Friday to pose with them at his office. I am going to do two more projects under Geetha Arts later this year."

Sushanth said, "It feels to be a part of such a big and successful film. I got to learn so much."

Thaman said, "This film was a big responsibility. I had to deliver a hat-trick with Allu Arjun with a layered script. It needed complex thinking on my part to compose the tunes. Bunny works really hard and has an imaginative mindset. He has introduced so many things through his movies."

Allu Aravind said, "I was recently introduced by a woman to her mother at an airport as the son of Allu Ramalaigaiah garu. He who knows the art of screenwriting can convince the audience with even a short story. That's Trivikram for you. Bunny is effortless in the movie, but he had to put in back-breaking work behind it! We are going to celebrate a grand function in Vizag on January 18."

Pooja Hegde said, "A big thank you to the entire team. It's always a team effort. I am a very big Trivikram fan. I love to work with Guruji. Haarika & Hassine Creations is one of the nicest banners. Allu Aravind sir carries a certain aura with him. That's something that is very rare. He is like SRK sir and Sushmita Sen in that respect. This is straight from my heart. Thaman is a silent hero of the film. He has become very busy these days and doesn't respond to messages anymore. I thank the editor for not editing me out of the film. I have to thank Allu Arjun for convincing Trivikram sir to repeat his heroine (laughs). I hope to work with you again, after 'DJ' and 'AVPL'."

Trivikram said, "The shoot of this film was begun with the Ram-Lakshman duo. The Srikakulam folk song-cum-fight in the climax has turned out to be a poetic one, thanks to them. I dedicate it to the people of Uttarandhra. I thank writer Vijay Kumar and Thaman, who composed it in just 30 minutes. I have been taking beatings from Rajendra Prasad garu since 'Julayi' and yet, I have been stuck with him. I don't know how his wife is living with him (Jokes). Harshavardhan will fill the vacuum in terms of character artists in Tollywood. Pooja is punctual, understands things quite fast, is talented and beautiful. She is self-made, independent, hardworking. Thanks to Thaman, the blockbuster songs made this film a hit even before the theatrical release. Everyone knows that Bunny is a superb dancer. But only a few knew that he is a great actor. With 'AVPL', everyone is realizing that he is a superb actor. He has underplayed his stardom to give his best shot in the movie. After watching the interval scene, I called him up to tell him he has given one of the finest performances ever. This film is to Bunny what a full toss is to Sachin. Ever since she watched him in Bigg Boss, my wife has been a fan of Navdeep."

Allu Arjun said, "I received a meme yesterday and it says: 'Cheppi maree blockbuster kottadu... Eedu magaadra bujji'. I have totally loved it. The technicians have worked so hard on the movie and I thank them. The Ram-Lakshman duo have been with me since my first movie. If North Indians love my fights, they are the biggest reason. I thank Brahmanandam garu for talking about my grandfather. The boardroom scene has worked big-time also because of Sunil's dance. Without cinematographer Vinod garu, the film wouldn't have been this good. I admire Thaman's music a lot. I am happy that this film is like a crown on your head. My father has to earn a lot from this movie because I am constructing a new house and he has to invest in it (Guffaws). I don't repeat heroines because I don't want to risk looking old opposite a repeated heroine. But I have made an exception for Pooja Hegde and am ready for one more film with her. Our family has been devotedly entertaining the audience. If that is called nepotism, so be it." He was all praise for Trivikram, saying that he had been wanting to do a huge entertainer with him.
