The audio of 'Chinnodu' directed by Kanmani and produced by Katragadda Lokesh with Sumanth and Charmi in the lead was released at a grand function organized at Hotel Green Park in Hyderabad recently. Several prominent film personalities including Dadasaheb Phalke awardee Dr Akkineni Nageswara Rao, K Raghavendra Rao, Nandamuri Harikrishna, Nandamuri Ramakrishna, B Gopal, Sagar and others attended the function as chief guests. Dr Akkineni Nageswara Rao unveiled the first audio cassette and handed it over to director Raghavendra Rao. He also gave away the second cassette to Nandamuri Harikrishna.

Speaking on the occasion, Nageswara Rao says, 'I have no knowledge about the story of the film. But I learnt that the film came out well. I am confident that Sumanth would perform well as 'Chinnodu'. It is not a compliment to him just because he is my grandson. But as an individual I know the action talent of Sumanth. At the same time, Charmi would give an excellent support and performed well. It is well aware that the combination of Sumanth and Charmi went well in 'Gouri' and created a sensation. I wish the film would also be a big hit as it is slated for release as Diwali gift. In fact, this year is quite favorable to the Telugu film industry. Several films proved success this year and I wish the same would repeat in case of 'Chinnodu'. Any film could be treated as hit if the audio proved a success and I wish the audio would become very popular and pave the way for the film's success.'

Director Kanmani says, 'After I directed 'Naa Oopiri', there was quite a long gap. But when I narrated the story, both producer Katragadda Lokesh and hero Sumanth gave me the opportunity. I am sure that the film would not remain as a minimum guarantee film but would be a big hit and would remain as a milestone and best film in Sumanth's career. The film is basically an action film with quite a lot of entertainment. In fact, the day's hero is Ramana Gogula, who had put in his effort to bring out the audio in a more melodious way. He has '0' per cent ego and 100 per cent sincerity. Of the six songs five came out very well. I wish the audiences will make our film a big hit.'

Music director Ramana Gogula says, 'The director troubled me to get good tunes and I wish everyone would enjoy the music. I thank the producer, hero and director for giving me this opportunity.' Charmi says, 'I played opposite Sumanth in 'Gouri' and our friendship continued till date. Meanwhile, I played a film with Nagarjuna in 'Mass'. Now I am again playing with Sumanth. I wish the film would remain a super hit.' Sumanth says, 'After playing a hero in a class film like 'Godavari' again I am doing a pucca mass character in 'Chinnodu'. I wish our audiences would enjoy the feast. A good music came out from Ramana Gogula. Kanmani's taking is also good. Lokesh's production values are also excellent and I felt as if I am doing in our own production.'
