The audio of 'Agnyaathavaasi' was released at a grand event held on Tuesday evening. The event was graced by the film's cast and crew. Besides, Dil Raju, AM Ratnam, and others were also present.

Peppered with LIVE performances of its music director, it was a hugely entertaining event.

Murali Sharma, producers Bhagawan and Pulla Rao released the first song. The producers said, "The combination of Pawan Kalyan garu and Trivikram garu is magic. To speak in the Sankranthi lingo, our Chinababu garu (producer) will emerge the winner in the 'Agnyaathavaasi' race.

AM Ratnam said, "I wish that this film will be a bigger hit than 'Attarintiki Daredi'. The crazy combination should definitely work in a big way."

Umesh Gupta of Aditya Music said, "We all know the craze that the director-hero have going for them. 'Agnyaathavaasi' should be their hat-trick movie. We are happy to have released the audio of this milestone movie of Power Star. We sincerely thank Chinababu garu. Two songs have already become super hit. Anirudh has given a wonderful music."

On-location footage of the shooting of 'Gaali Vaaluga' was presented on the screen.

Anirudh Ravichander said, "It's a very proud moment that my Telugu debut film is 'Agnyaathavaasi'. I thank Trivikram garu and Pawan Kalyan garu. Thanks for already making two of the songs such big hits. I can't expect a warmer welcome than this."

His LIVE performance of 'Gaali Vaaluga' had the spectators cheering like crazy. He crooned the film's third song, 'AB Yevaro Nee Baby' amidst loud encouragement .

Tanikella Bharani said, "I want to say three words today: Pawan Kalyan, Pawan Kalyan and Pawan Kalyan. I feel fortunate to have done this movie. This film will create history. Athagadu mithabhaashi, nithya sathyanveshi, Arjununi vanti oka agnyaathavaasi."

Boman Irani said, "My first Telugu film was 'AD'. It was one of the happiest cinematic experiences of my career. I was called to do this film and I asked two questions. What is the hero's name? And the gentleman said, 'Power Star Pawan Kalyan'. I then asked who was the director. I said, 'No more questions. I don't want to know the script, money, anything'. My friend Murali Sharma, Rao Ramesh, Bharani garu are there in the film. I was glad to find that Kushboo mam too would be doing the film. Hyderabad has adopted me. Trivikram garu makes me an old man in his films! I want to continue to work with this team till I really become very old."

Lyricist Sirivennela said, "In a song for Pawan Kalyan, I wrote, 'Tsunami yeduruga nilapadithe ela untundo telusa?!'. Pawan is a 'maha prabanjanam'. He doesn't create chaos; he brings joys. This film will create records. I wish that it brings happiness to everybody. I congratulate Sri Mani and Bhaskarabhatla, who have also written songs for this movie."

Kushboo said, "My last Telugu film was 'Stalin'. In the last 10 years, I got many offers. But I was waiting for a role that has importance in the film. When Trivikram offered me this film, there's no way I could reject it. I am glad to be making a comeback in a Power Star Pawan Kalyan movie. Despite the status of being a superstar, Pawan remains absolutely down to earth. He is a man of few words. I think I have some karmic connection with Trivikram and so, I could get so well. 'Agnyaathavaasi' is going to be a big dhamaka."

Rao Ramesh said, "Hero Nithin garu has asked me to convey my wishes to the entire team. When I started doing this film, I stopped praying God for bounties. Trivikram garu gave me such a great opportunity. I have got to work with Pawan Kalyan garu for so many days."

Producer Dil Raju said, "'Badri' was released without posters, without an audio function. Yet it created records. Imagine what is going to happen with 'Agnyaathavaasi'. Whatever Pawan garu does, we like. His leg movements, his hand movements, we love everything. After 'Jalsa' and 'AD', 'Agnyaathavaasi' is going to be the hat-trick movie. We are all waiting for Jan 10. I wish Chinababu garu all the best. I once told Trivikram garu that he can write like Rajkumar Hirani of Bollywood. Films like 'AD' and 'Agnyaathavaasi' prove it."

Aadhi Pinishetty said, "I couldn't speak much with Pawan Kalyan sir on the shooting locations. I am a major fan of his. You all became his fans after he came into movies. But I was his fan even as a child. He happened to come to our house once. I was struggling with a VCR to watch 'Jurrasic Park'. I requested him saying, 'Anna, can you please fix it?' He worked on a hundred wires for the next half-an hour. He is such a simple man."

Anu Emmanuel said, "This film is a great thing that has happened to me. I am not saying this because it's a big film. It's because of the special people, and the amazing journey we went through. It was a blessing to stand by his side. It was a bigger blessing to act alongside him. Trivikram sir is my most favourite. No matter how much I talk about him, it doesn't suffice. I want to work with him again and again. His wise words and support have been special. The producers have made this film without compromising on quality. Anirudh has given such an outstanding music. It was nice working with Keerthy and I wish her all the best."

Keerthy Suresh said, "I should first thank my producer Chinababu garu. Trivikram garu is one of the coolest directors I have worked with. The combination of Pawan sir and Trivikram garu is great and so, I feel all the more glad to have worked on this film. Anirudh is thin like a pencil but his voice is magic. It's my third movie with him. Every frame of this movie is like a painting, thanks to the cinematographer. You will know it when you watch it. Anu and I have worked a lot of on-screen chemistry. We both are very good friends in the movie, much like how we are in real life. Finally, it's not easy to be a star; and it's not easy to be a power star. I am now a fan of Pawan sir off-screen also for what he is. Many years ago, my mom got to work with Chiranjeevi garu on 'Punnami Nagu'."

Trivikram Srinivas said, "'Endaro mahanubhavalu... Andariki vandanalu'. Some of the great people are here on the dais. Manikandan garu doesn't know anything in the world but for the camera. The camera is his eye. I have learned a lot from him. He contributed a lot to the film. I told him only so much about the scenes, but he showed much more. Art director AS Prakash has shown his capability. He has shown his 'vishwaroopam'. It's not so easy to work with a perfectionist cameraman. And Prakash rose to the occasion. I wanted to work with Anirudh for 'A Aa' itself. But that didn't work out. We finally joined hands for 'Agnyaathavaasi'. I have learned the quality of being fearless from him. Boman Irani garu is one of my favourite actors. I have always wanted to work with him again since the days of 'AD'. He is a walking film library. There is a writer in him whom I feel jealous about. He pushes me to improvise scenes. He doesn't explicitly say that a scene can be better. But I get the clue. Tanikella garu is like my elder brother. There is a middle-class man in me. Whenever I meet Tanikella garu, he wakes up in me. We had no dates of Murali Sharma garu. I was feeling tensed as to who would play the role. This is when I spoke to him on the phone. He told me that he will work during nights by flying from Mumbai just to shoot for this movie. SV Ranga Rao garu was a 'nata parvatham'. Then we had the great Savitri garu. Then the great Rao Gopal Rao garu, with whom I couldn't work. But I have had the opportunity to work with his son, Rao Ramesh garu. His mother is a great pundit. And so also Rao Ramesh garu. He is a mix of culture and Sanskrit language. Action choreographer Ravi Varma garu has done a great job. Kushboo garu is one of the most important persons of this movie. Only she could have done the role. Even before I narrated to her the story, she told me she would be doing it. Maybe, she knew I was too lazy to narrate the script. When we go to a hotel reception, we think twice before speaking in a language we don't know. We are confused between using 'May I' and 'Shall I'. That's why dubbing in a different language is a great thing. I respect Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel for daring to dub in Telugu, a language they don't know."

"Producer Radhakrishna garu is the film's backbone. He has spent more than what I had asked for. My mother would chide me for spending more than what was needed. Nowadays, my producers are not chiding me as my beard has greyed," he joked.

"Sirivennela garu has brought honour to Telugu songs. People ask me why he hasn't been writing songs for my movies. My answer is that I am not creating enough situations that can match his stature. But in 'Agnyaathavaasi', 'Gaali Vaaluga' comes as a great job from him," the director said.

"I had told Pawan garu the story of this film in two minutes. You are going to see his 'Nata Vishwaroopam' in the movie. I shouldn't say more. Just as we don't talk how much we love our mother and our best friend, I can't talk much about how well he has acted in the movie. I pray to God that I will get to work with him again and again," he said.

"From BN Reddy garu to Rajamouli garu, they are all great. From SV Ranga Rao garu to Rao Ramesh, Boman Irani and Murali Sharma. From Savitri garu to Anu and Keerthy. From NTR garu, ANR garu and Chiranjeevi garu to Pawan Kalyan. 'Endaro mahanubhaluvu'," Trivikram thundered.

Pawan Kalyan said, "Bharat Mata ki jai! Bharat Mata ki jai!! Hail the country for giving us many opportunities."

"I want to keep every one of you in my heart. I never expected that I will win this much of affection before entering into films. Even as a child, I always wanted to do good to society. I am fortunate to be doing some good through politics. It's films that have given me a platform to reach out to people. I couldn't see myself doing more than 10 movies. I wanted to quit movies after doing five movies post 'Khushi'. To me, the country is great. But your love has made me do not 10 but 25 of them. I was never depressed by defeat. But I came to know that hatred and jealousy are commonplace. It was then that 'Johnny' failed. But when my fans were hurt because of that failure, I really experienced 'vairagyam'. I wanted to renounce everything and give up cinema. But it's you who have been with me. It's your love and affection that have had me going."

"Every time I see the Tricolour, my heart swells with pride. It's for my country that I am in politics. The end of every art is social use. Same way, my ultimate aim is to be of use for this society. I may do only 'udatha sahayam'. But I will definitely do something for this society. I am only a 'nimittha matrudu'. But I believe in the power of time and God. No power is mine. I am of no use when I am by myself. I am not afraid of anything but I do go through dejections," he said.

"When I was down, no friend was by my side. It was Trivikram Srinivas who has always been with me. When you fail, nobody wants to be with you. But Trivikram has always been with me. He would always tell me to come out and do a film. Nobody ever told me that 'Jalsa' did so well and made money for 3 years. I was cut off and was confined myself to four walls. People say that Trivikram garu is my advisor. We both are from a lower middle-class background. He is a gold medalist in Nuclear Physics, a great writer, and became a director on his own. He doesn't need me. He is very creative and any hero would be ready to work with me. But the reason he has been with me is that we both think alike. Our thoughts keep us united. We may not be seen around when we succeed. But when we fail, you will see us together. I can be angry with him. I am that close to him. He motivates me by reeling off poetry, for example, of Guntur Seshendra Sharma. I had only tears and pain in me because I think of the world's problems as my own. But when I read Guntur Seshendra Sharma garu, I regained faith to serve our country."

"I like Manikandan garu's work. I like art director AS Prakash garu's work. After Anand Sai, he is one of the best art directors. Producer Radhakrishna garu has brought back the values of old-time producers. I listen to Kolaveri Di song often. Anirudh is one of my favourite music directors. I feel like dancing to Kolaveri Di when I am alone in a room. I may dance less in movies, but I dance well when I am alone. After Micheal Jackson, it's Anirudh who I like the most. Coming to Aadhi, his father was to direct my debut movie. But that didn't work out. I congratulate Anu Emmanuel and Keerthy Suresh, who are sincere professionals," Pawan signed off, ending his speech with 'Jai Hindi'.
