Speaking at the pre-release event of 'Khaidi No. 150', Chiranjeevi said that he was very happy to listen to the whistles and claps of his fans after so many years. "I know by experience how much power your cheers have. I have waited for this day for many years. Seeing the huge turn-out, I wonder if I am standing on the banks of River Krishna or the Visakha ocean. This is greater than the turbulence that an ocean makes during a cyclone," Chiru said.

Chiru is known for emotionally conveying his affection to his fans. "An Urdu shayari comes to my mind. The lover boy tells his muse that he doesn't remember the period after they parted ways and before they reunited. The ten years after the release of 'Shankardada Zindabad' now feels like ten seconds to me," he said touchingly.

He termed his "blood brothers" as his source of strength. "It's your love that keeps me going," the Megastar said.

The Megastar attributed the title 'Khaidi No. 150' to Dasari Narayana Rao's advice. "It was he who first suggested the title after reading a newspaper report."

Describing the movie as having all the essential ingredients, Chiru showered unqualified encomiums on Vinayak for projecting him in the right way. "The only director who came to my mind when we decided on remaking 'Kaththi' is Vinayak. We got half the success when he came on board. He not only performed the duties of a director, but also undertook the responsibilities of a producer in Ram Charan's absence," Chiru said about his son.

The Megastar's speech was peppered with a punch line tailor-made for the occasion. "Rananukunnara? Ralenanukunnara? Delhi ki poyadu, dance laki dooram aipoyuntadu anukunnara? Hasthinaku poyadu, hasyaniki dooram aipoyuntadu anukunnara? Ade maasu, ade grasu, ade horu, ade joru, ade husharu," he said amid loud cheers from his fans.

He praised dialogue writers Sai Madhav Burra and Vema Reddy on the occasion. To everyone's glee, the 'Emperor of Entertainment' shared a punch line from the movie. "Corporate beeru tagedi nuvvu.. Corporation water tagedi nenu," he said with all the power and punch.

Sathyanand's "gripping screenplay" came in for special praise from him.

Kajal Aggarwal, said Chiru, holds a unique feat. "We have seen actresses who acted with a father and years later, with that actor's son. But Kajal's feat is the reverse of this."

Last but not the least, Chiru wished 'sodarudu' Balayya all the best for his movie, 'Gautamiputra Satakarni'. "I also wish that 'Shatamanam Bhavati' and Narayana Murthy's movie become super hits."
