The audio of Nandamuri Balakrishna's 'Lion' was launched at Shilpa Kala Vedika in Hyderabad. Chandrababu Naidu attended the event as the chief guest and launched the audio. Balakrishna, Trisha, Revanth Reddy, Paritala Sunitha, Sriwass, Mani Sharma and many other film and political personalities have graced the event.

Jayasudha said, "Lion is a very different film and I played a very interesting role in it. I am sure it will be a bigger hit than Legend."

Trisha said, "I missed working with Balakrishna earlier for some movies. I am very happy to have acted with him now in this film. This is a very special day for me, because I acted in a big Telugu film after nearly three years. I thank director, producer and Balakrishna for this opportunity to work for this film. Mani Sharma gave a very good album. I hope this film will be a big hit".

Chandrababu Naidu said, "I launched the audios of 'Samarasimha Reddy' and 'Narasimha Naidu' in the position of a chief minister. They became blockbusters. Now I launched the audio of 'Lion' and I am sure it will be another big hit. I liked the trailer so much and I want to watch the film on screen. NTR's films like Kondaveeti Simham which has the name Simha in it became big hits and Balakrishna's films with the name Simha are also big hits. There is no competition for Balakrishna. He competes with him. I challenge that there is no other actor, who can perform roles like this. He has a mass following which no other hero has. Mani Sharma gives good music for all Balayya's movies. Director Satya Deva is all set to create history with his debut film itself. His grandfather Venkat Reddy worked as a minister in my cabinet. My request to all the producers is there is no need to shoot movies in foreign locations, there are beautiful locations in Andhra Pradesh like Vizag and Konaseema. They should shoot their films there. I will attend the one year function of this film".

Boyapati Srinu said, "Lion' is Balakrishna's 98th film. But he never cares about numbers. He works for every film like it his first film. About 90% films in the combination of Balayya and Mani Sharma are big hits. Producer Rudrapati Ramanarao is a big fan of Balakrishna. He didn't compromise regarding the budget of this film. Satya Deva is very fortunate to be making his debut as director with Balakrishna's film. He is very talented. I will definitely work with Balakrishna again. I will announce the details myself".

Satya Deva said, "Mani Sharma gave very good music for our film. Ram Laxman choreographed the action sequences very well and they look like Hollywood action sequences. Only because of Balakrishna, I am here today. I narrated a line seven years back to Balakrishna. He remembered me and called me up after six months. He has been encouraging me a lot from then. He promised that he will do a film with me and after 'Legend', he said that we will work together. Balakrishna is not only a reel hero, he is a real hero. He stands on his words. He believed in me though I am not experienced. I am very happy to have worked with him. I am confident that the film will be a big hit and the credit goes to only Balakrishna".

Rudrapati Ramanarao said, "This is an auspicious day for me. Because I am with my inspirational leader Chandrababu Naidu and my favourite hero Balakrishna are on this stage. Only Nandamuri heros have that guts to make their fans as producers. Though many producers wanted to do a film with Balakrishna after a blockbuster like 'Legend', he worked with me only because he promised me a film. He is a great personality and a real hero. He worked very hard for the film. Though he had a throat infection, he did a rain fight as the schedule should complete then. It shows his commitment. I am sure this film will be a big hit".

Balakrishna said, "My dad never ran behind time. Only Time ran behind him. I am following him. God's and my father's blessings are with me and so I will be a Lion forever. Many said that the subject is very new. But I said that I learnt encouraging newness from my dad. There are wonderful dialogues in the film. Satyadeva did a great ob. Producer is my fan.My fans are very disciplined. Only because of them I am here. I am also the chairman of Basavatarakam Cancer hospital and my fans are helping me so much in my social work. I hope this film will be a big success and God also gives me strength to do more service to the people".

Balakrishna also delivered some dialogues from the film and entertained his fans.
