At the pre-release event of 'Hello!', held on Wednesday, Akkineni Nagarjuna began his speech with these words: "I am very, very, very satisfied". He is happy both as the producer of 'Hello!' and as Akhil's father.

Towards the end of his speech, Nag made it a point to speak about 'Maa kottha kodalu' Samantha. "Our daughter-in-law always keeps smiling! As soon as she is back home, it's as if sparrows are talking," Nag said, suggesting that the 'Rangasthalam' and 'Mahanati' actress talking is like soothing music.

When it was her turn, Sam said, "The teasers and trailers of 'Hello!' show the real Akhil. He is the Akhil I know. I thank Vikram Kumar for showing the real Akhil for us. Akhil is extremely lucky. He has got his father's beauty and style. He has got his mother's grace. I want to watch 'Hello!' as a fan. Kalyani is quite beautiful. I wish her all the best. Anup has created magic. Annapurna Studios is going to deliver a big blockbuster."
