SS Thaman's music for Dictator' has been a big success and commemorating the same, the makers held a Platinum Disc function today. The event was graced by the who's who of the film, with Balakrishna being praised to the skies by one and all.

Speaking on the occasion, Balakrishna said that he was thankful to Eros International for being a part of the project. Further, he said, 'Titles like Legend', Simha', Lion' and now Dictator' generate expectations. Our film has very good scenes like in Legend', songs of all genres like item song, family song and more. I have always felt that apart from music, editing is of paramount importance for a film. We started off the film in Amaravathi and everything went well in a breezy, amusing environment. We shot two songs in Bulgaria, one fight in Switzerland. If I'm looking younger than my age in this film, it's because of Shyam K Naidu. I express my gratitude towards all my directors and producers. In particular, this film has come out very well. Even a single miscasting can damage a film. Right from casting to technical departments, everything has gone well with this film. Anjali has done a very good job and I'm proud of acting with a Telugu girl. Her grasp and involvement are very good. If we have more and more artists like her, we can do wonders. Suman, who looks dignified, has a very good role here. Rathi Agnihothri agreed to act in the film at the first opportunity. Sonal Chouhan has a good role,' Balayya said.

Director Sriwass: Many people have asked me as to how I am looking relaxed despite doing a big project like this. I would only say one thing. When there is a power behind us, things just happen. Balayya babu is such a power. I thank everyone for making this a wonderful film. Shyam K Naidu has a rich eye. Whatever location he goes to, he tries to bring out something we can't see. Likewise, if we are today celebrating this function, it is because of Thaman. Ramajogayya Sastry has written three songs; he wanted to write all the songs, but he couldn't. Throughout the shooting, it was like family time. I don't believe in talking about my product; the audience should do that after the film's release. I will only say one thing. 'Dictator' will be a treat not just for fans, but also the general audience. It will be a paisa vasool film."

Anjali was all praise for Balakrishna. She said that he was like a kid, a child at heart. He is so pure.

Chalapathi Rao said: When it is Balayya who is the hero, the heroine has a tough time matching up to his dance moves. Balayya Anjali ni iragadeesi untadu. Ae heroine aina sare sacchipovalisinde. He is looking very stylish in this movie. When the film was opened for booking, a fan bought it for Rs. 3,65,000. I think no star has had this record in any country. It is world news.

Suman said: There are some dialogues which only Balakrishna should deliver. There are some hair-raising dialogues in this film. It's a wonderful story which I did not want to miss at any cost.
