Saying that he may never be qualified to speak about Savitri, NTR at Mahanati's audio function described the yesteryear actress as a 'true lady superstar'.  

"This movie is about how she lived, not about how she died.  It's important to take inspiration from some people's lives and their achievements.  Nag Ashwin is bringing to us the glory of one such life.  Nag's experience doesn't matter.  What matters is how big a fan of Savitri garu he is.  Only Sweety, Swapna garu and Ashwini Dutt garu could understand his dream," NTR said.

"When we resolve to do something great, everything falls into place.  People ascribe it to God.  I would ascribe it to Nature.  Nature is God.  It's Nature that made Keerthy Suresh doing the biopic possible.  It's Nature that made Dulquer Salman, Samantha and Vijay Devarakonda do it.  Even after they pass away, the spirits of our elders are around. Savitri garu must have persevered to get this film done," the actor said.

"Sweety had asked me to do NT Rama Rao garu's role.  I am not eligible to play him.  I won't have the eligibility in his life!  I have no guts to essay his role.  When we are playing the character of a known person, it's not enough to act.  One has to live the character. Hats off to Keerthy, Dulquer and others for taking up the challenge," Young Tiger said.

He lauded the biopic for showing what women can achieve!
