Speaking at the audio release function of SGS, Pawan Kalyan said, "I never had a hero other than Chiranjeevi garu. I was a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan garu. After annayya became a hero, it was only him. But when he advised me to become an actor, it was a new feeling. If am in front of you, it's because of annayya and vadina. I still don't understand as to why annayya gave me that advise. Did he say that because he thought I will at least do something? I never knew how to read, what work to do. When annaya would come home late night and sleep off without removing his shoes, I would remove them and smell the fragrance of his sweat."

Pawan further said, "For a person like me, it's relatively easier to enter films. But without any background, annayya has reached this stage. He is a great inspiration. I never had interest in acting. But I liked reading."

Talking about politics, Power Star said, "In politics, I have done certain things which he didn't like. I tried to explain him why I did those things. He is convinced. Maa bandhalu veru, politics veru. I don't have to prove that I love him. After my parents, it's annayya and vadina who are like my parents. When Jhonny failed, annaya said that I should have worked harder. I did not do Jhonny out of ignorance. SGS has all the commercial elements annayya wants in a film. That's why I invited him to the event. I hope I won't disappoint."

Talking about SGS, he said, "When I went to Khammam border before entering films, I felt that a love story should be done there. I took 2.5 years to write this script. I like to nativise Western elements like Cowboy. It had to release in October last. I thank Sunil Lulla ji for being patient despite the delays. I thank Kajal, and Sanjjana. I made everyone work so hard for the past 50 days. I didn't sleep. I didn't let them sleep. We shot 70 pc of the film during this period. We are not releasing it in Hindi with the aim of breaking the records of any film."
