A success meet of 'Bharat Ane Nenu' was held in Hyderabad on Monday night.  A bigger event will be held in Tirupathi on April 27.

DVV Danayya said, "I am happy to have kept my 'haami' that I gave at the recent pre-release function.  A relative of mine called me up from Chennai the other day and said, crying, that this is a great film.  People want to watch it twice in the theatres!  I thank Koratala garu and Mahesh Babu garu for this great movie.  Kiara Advani will do another movie in our banner."

Devi Sri Prasad said, "Koratala garu had told me this film's line even when I was working on 'Janatha Garage'.  I couldn't imagine the story will come out this well.  'BAN' is a special film, more than a blockbuster.  Change is the need of the hour across the world.  In 'BAN', people have found what they have always wanted to see in real life.  The film deals with small problems rather than big problems involving thousands of crores.  This film is based on responsibility and accountability.  The film has got everything that Mahesh Babu garu's fans want.  Mahesh garu is a terrific actor who gets it right in the very first shot.  Nobody asks him for a second shot.  But he himself takes the initiative to give another shot.  That's why he is what he is.  Ramajogayya Sastry garu too has the same quality."

Koratala Siva said, "When you are working with an actor like Mahesh garu, you want to better your writing again and again.  He can emote so many variations.  Thanks to Danayya garu, 'BAN' is the costliest and biggest film in my career."  He thanked his entire team of actors and technicians.

Kiara Advani said, "It's a huge privilege for any actor to act with Mahesh sir. It's a treat to work with him. His energy and enthusiasm to try something new inspired a newcomer like me."

Mahesh Babu said, "Last two years were very emotionally draining and stressful.  I am very relieved and happy now.  Whenever Brahmaji has acted with me, I have had a blockbuster!  I am happy that Telugu cinema has got a new star heroine.  I will always be indebted to Koratala Siva garu.  Before 'Srimanthudu' released, I was going through a lean phase.

He hides his tension although he undergoes the pressure to deliver a blockbuster for me.  'BAN' released on April 20, which is my mother's birthday. Maybe, we have her blessings and that's why the film became such a big hit.  Although I was holidaying abroad before the film's release, I used to keep on calling Koratala garu or DSP repeatedly.  Whenever I spoke with them, I would feel very happy.  I can't explain it in words.  Devi is a storyteller, not a music director.  Ram Jo, you rocked it, bro, with your lyrics.  I want to work with DVV Danayya garu again and again.  His reaction after the film became a hit is like, 'Yes, it had to become.  There is no other go'."
