The audio of 'Hello!' was released on Sunday evening at a grand audio launch function held amidst a huge crowd in Vizag. The event was graced by the AP HRD Minister Ghanta Srinivasa Rao as the chief guest. The film's cast and crew attended with enthusiasm, while Akhil's live performances were a highlight.
Hosted by Suma, the event was co-hosted by Ali, who amused the audience with his style of humour.
"This is a historic day in the history of Vizag. It was ANR garu who was instrumental in bringing the Telugu film industry from Chennai to Hyderabad. It's now the turn of Nagarjuna garu to bring it from Hyderabad to Vizag, which has excellent locations for shootings. It has all the facilities to make shootings easy. We now have Akhil to bring the TFI to Vizag in future. I wish that 'Hello!' becomes a bigger hit than 'Hello Brother'. I wish Ghanta garu is also made the AP Cinematography Minister," said Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad, who unveiled the 'Emo Emaindo' number.
The Theatrical Trailer for the movie was released by Ghanta Srinivasa Rao, who said, "Vizag is a happening city. It's a smart city. Nagarjuna garu is a 'manmathudu'. I felt happy on coming to know that he chose Vizag to celebrate this function. The city can be a hub for the TFI. It has an industrial, rural and tribal ambiance. In the past, many used to deem Vizag as a place that brings good luck. They used to film at least one song here. There is a need for the TFI to blossom in Vizag. I wholeheartedly wish that the Akkinenis become a force in making this possible. A single-window officer will be appointed to make shooting permissions easy. There is a lot of pressure on Akhil to take the legacy of his family forward. He is definitely going to succeed. I am glad that the 'Siseendri' we all knew is going to become a mass actor in this film."
Chandrabose, who has penned two of the film's songs, said that the numbers in the film are quite heart-touching. He thanked Akhil, describing him as a rising star.
Anup Rubens then performed a symphony with a team of musicians, members of a troupe came down from Chennai.
Anup said, "I hope 'Hello!' will be a bigger hit than 'Manam'."
The new Akkineni couple delivered a video message.
Naga Chaitanya said, "I am very happy that this function is taking place in Vizag. I love the city and value its mouth talk on day one every time my film releases. Its support has always been encouraging. I have shot for many of my films in the city. I know how much everyone has worked hard on 'Hello!'. I have always wanted to see Akhil in a love story. Although he dances so well, I think love stories are more apt for him. 'Hello!' has got a beautiful love story. December is a festive month for the Akkinenis. Many of the Akkinenis' family's films released in this month have been hits. The trailer for 'Hello!' is great. Akhil is going to say a big 'Hello!' to the film industry."
Samantha said, "December 22 is going to be a special day for Akkineni fans. I wish Annapurna Studios, Vikram Kumar, Anup Rubens and everybody else all the best. The 'Manam' magic will be repeated. I wish Akhil all the best. I will celebrate the film's release on the 22nd."
Kalyani Priyadarshan said, "I have a lot to be thankful for. Firstly, it's my parents, who have been so supportive. I will always be grateful for that. Secondly, it's Nag sir. When I bagged this film, I was told that this is both the best and the worst thing that could happen to me. The best thing because nobody can guide me through my first film better than Nag sir. The worst thing because the standards are so high that it's difficult to live up to them. Being a heroine in Vikram Kumar sir's film is everybody's wish. As for Akhil, he is such an amazing co-star. He made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He made so much of effort in the film. I am sure you are going to love him in the film. It's so exciting to watch him. Anup sir, this is your best album."
Akhil said, "Hello, Vizag! Have you enjoyed the event? For me, it has been an emotional journey for one year. If I am confidently standing in front of you, it's because of two people. It's because of my mother and father. But for them, I can't even start to imagine what it would have been. The only way I can show my gratitude to them is by making them proud with 'Hello!'. Vikram did this film to me when he deserved a better actor. When he met me, I wasn't the actor he deserved. I was quite low on energy and confidence levels. The process of doing this film helped me discover myself. Vikram is the brother for my life. I thank all our 'abhimana devullu', who supported me through the last two years even though I didn't have a single release. Whatever I have done, be it an ad or anything, they supported me. I am ready to deliver a hit. Are you ready? My mother is the support system for me and my father."
Amala said, "Anup Rubens' music is wonderful. Cinematographer Vinod garu is a magician. I wish Kalyani all the best for a beautiful career ahead. I wish Vikram a great success. I am waiting for December 22 like everybody."
Nagarjuna said, "Hello, Vizag! My hello to all Telugu audiences. Hello to Ghanta Srinivas Rao garu and the other guests. Hello to our 'abhimana devullu'. A year back, I had promised you all that I will make a film with Akhil. I have delivered a hit for Naga Chaitanya earlier this year. I had declared before its release that we would be scoring a hit and we did just that. Vikram Kumar is more than a favourite director. He is close to our heart. When we were mooting about what kind of film to do with Nanna garu for his last film, Vikram was made 'Manam' and gave a grand farewell to my father. When I wanted to re-launch Akhil, I spoke to Vikram about it. And he came ready with this script. You will see Akhil the way you want to in 'Hello!'."
He further said, "When I watch Akhil in this film, I compared it to how we were doing it in our early days. His dancing style reminds me of ANR garu's. It was ANR garu who first taught the art of dancing with grace. Everybody who has worked on 'Hello!' have done so with love. They have done so with the aim of making Akhil a big star."
Nag added, "It was in Priyan's film that I wooed Amala, singing 'Hello guru prema kosame jeevitham'. That way he united me and Amala. Call it destiny or whatever, his daughter is debuting opposite my son. Kalyani surely has a fantastic future. Trust me on this. Before we came here to Vizag, we were warned that there would be a huge thoofan. Our employees assured us to go ahead as we have Nanna garu's blessings. I have shot for many films in Vizag, Kakinada and Rajahmundry. As Ghanta Srinivas Rao garu has said, we will be more than happy to shoot more and more here."
He finally said that 'Hello!' will surely be a huge blockbuster. "Idhi fix!" he signed off.
