The pre-release event of 'Khaidi No. 150', held today in Guntur, was graced by the film's cast and crew, besides Dasari Narayana Rao, T Subbirami Reddy and others.

Paruchuri Brothers said, "Us and Chiranjeevi garu entered the industry in 1978. 'Khaidi', which was his 59th film, changed the game. We didn't expect that it would become that iconic. Our father was a farmer. Chiranjeevi garu is a self-made man, which is why we like him a lot. We hope his 150th film will be a great comeback movie. He entered the industry without a c/o address of his won. Today, he is the c/o address of millions. That says it all. Chiranjeevi garu once told us in private that a family whose eldest son is responsible will go a long way. Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, Naga Babu, Allu Arjun, Sai Dharam Teja, Niharika are the branches of one tree. His image changed after 'Indra' and 'Tagore'. 'Khaidi No. 150' caters to those fans who like the 'Ammadu Let's Do Kummudu'-stye entertainment as well as the crusading avatar of Chiranjeevi garu. This film questions the system that lets go scot-free those who leave the country after bankrupting the system of Rs. 10,000 cr when farmers are dying to repay a loan of Rs. 10,000." The dialogue writers said that they were very happy to have written for Megastar's 150th movie, and recalled how they had also written for the landmark movies of NTR and Superstar Krishna.

Raghu Babu said, "This movie should play in the theatres for 150 weeks."

Ram-Laxman duo thanked the director and Chiranjeevi for the opportunity. "A good bhaktha brings glory to God. Good children bring glory to parents. Fans like you do the same. Annayya's energy levels are the same as they were when he did action sequences in 'Gang Leader'. Our wish to choreograph for annayya's movie has been fulfilled with 'Khaidi No. 150'. Watching his style and action on the sets, we felt very lucky."

Sharat Marar said, "Amitabh Bachchan once said that Chiranjeevi garu is the king of Indian cinema. We salute you, sir. You truly are the king of Indian cinema. Pawan Kalyan garu has conveyed his heart-felt wishes to Chiranjeevi garu. He congratulates Vinayak garu and all other technicians. He wishes that this film will be a super duper hit."

Naga Babu's speech was spiced up with sharp comments against Yandamuri Veerendranath and RGV. "I was among those who strongly wished that Annayya does a movie years after being in politics. I thank him on behalf of all of you for doing a movie. After 'Indra', this is the first time that I want to watch annayya's movie in theatre. Many people have commented that he shouldn't have done a remake. What is wrong with remaking a movie? Rajinikanth garu and annayya have remade each other's movies. Kalyan babu too has done. There is one idiot who lacks commonsense. Just to project someone, he belittled Charan. I want to tell that 'moorkhudu' that we don't care about such critics. He needs personality development." Further, he took potshots at Ram Gopal Varma without naming him. "There is one 'akku pakshi' who shifted base to Mumbai many years ago. He has stopped making good movies. But that 'sannasi' talks gibberish about Annayya's movie on Twitter. You learn about filmmaking first, you 'paniki malina sannasi' (a useless person)."

Dasari Narayana Rao said, "Wherever there is Chiranjeevi, there is an ocean of fans. 'Khaidi', 'Pasivadi Pranam' - many wonderful functions were held in this town. After 8 years, history is getting repeated. For those of you who have waited for many years, this film comes as an answer. He has become a superstar with sheer determination and perseverance. You all know this. He is looking like a 25-year-old in this film. It is the result of his efforts for one year. In the first song of this movie, you will find that even Allu Arjun and Ram Charan can't match him. Even those heroes who are into shaking BO records will have to learn from his dances, fights, etc. After watching the interval fight, you will surely say 'What a performance!' When no government is caring for the farmers' woes, he has made this movie."

Kajal Aggarwal said, "The name of the defining moment in my career is Chiranjeevi garu. He is the most inspiring co-star that I have ever worked with. The most handsome, the most graceful, the most energetic co-star ever. VV Vinayak sir motivated us throughout. Producing a movie is a big thing. And producing Chiranjeevi garu's 150th movie is something else. As a friend, as a co-star, I thank him."

TSR said, "He has danced and acted in this movie with a vengeance. He is the inspiration behind Pawan Kalyan and all the other heroes from his family. I have stopped making movies. But I want to make a movie with Chiranjeevi, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan with Allu Aravind's guidance."

Allu Arjun said, "I have been waiting for this day since 10 years now. I can't resist my smile. No matter who is the director, he can't present Chiranjeevi garu this well. It's only Vinayak who can do that. He and DSP through his music have shown how much they like Chiranjeevi garu. You have to learn from Chiranjeevi garu his culture. Let's all wish that the film of the other hero will also be a big hit this Sankranthi." Bunny was obviously referring to Balakrishna's movie.

Ram Charan said, "Looking at your energy, it feels like we have already scored a hit. Without Vinayak, this film wouldn't have been completed. He took up even the producer's responsibility at times."

VV Vinayak said, "I thank my brother Megastar Sri Chiranjeevi g
