Speaking at the audio release function of SGS, Chiranjeevi gave a lengthy speech, which had the audience cheering all through.

After releasing the theatrical trailer of SGS, he said, "If there is a film that I have watched repeatedly in recent years, it's Gabbar Singh. I watch it with interest whenever it is telecast on TV. Never in the past have I watched a Pawan film with so much of interest. He showed his 'vishwaroopam' in that film. This is what I want to see from Pawan Kalyan. I have enjoyed every frame of it. Pawan improvised on Dabbang, and the characterization in that film. Pawan doesn't follow any trend, he sets the trend himself. He has proved it. In Attarintiki Daredi, we saw a different Pawan, once again. Now, it is SGS."

Further, he said, "Pawan has dedicated himself to the film. It's his story, it's his screenplay. I have no doubt that the combination of Bobby and Pawan is great. When I visited the sets, I could feel that just as Sholay created Rampur, SGS has created Ratanpur. It will be another Sholay for sure."

Talking about Pawan, Chiru said, "Pawan has humanism in him. He has humour in him. I have no doubt that every scene will have either humour or something in store for the masses. I have to share an anecdote from his childhood. He came to me one day when he wanted to plan his future course of action. Me and his vadina told him that he should become an actor. He was convinced. Today, he has come to this stage. Me and my parents are the first one to feel proud of him."

He appealed to Pawan to not give up films. "I heard that he is not decided on what to do after 2 or 3 films. Is this correct? I am advising Pawan once again. You will reach heights in whichever field you are. But don't abandon cinema. You should make your fans happy. You have the capacity to ride both the horses (cinema and politics). We will be with you. I don't think Pawan will say no to me."

He further said, "I wish that he will break all the records. Some other hero should break his records. Such a healthy competition will be good. SGS should break the records of Baahubali. Records shouldn't be the exclusive achievement of any one particular hero. Pawan too thinks like this."

Talking about the director, Chiru said, "I watched Power recently on TV. Bobby is very talented. Pawan has shown his merit in spotting talent."

About the Veena step, he said, "I am many times more excited than you all to watch his Veena step. It's a gift he is giving to Mega fans."

About Sharrat Marar, Chiru said, "When Sharrat Marar was with MAA, he contributed to its growth. We have been associated with him since long. He is like a family member."
