The audio of Oka Manasu was released in Hyderabad in the presence of some industry elders and Mega heroes.

Speaking at the function, Tammareddy Bharadwaj said, "I know Madhura Sridhar makes good films. TV9 is ahead when it comes to breaking news. We all know about Sunil Kashyap. What we don't know is about Niharika. After proving herself as the number 1 heroine, she is debuting as an actress."

Lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry said, "When Madhura Sridhar said that Rama Raju is the director, I was upbeat and excited. When Rama Raju started giving the narration, he was totally immersed in it. He gave the narration meticulously. This story will be liked by one and all. I usually write four versions or so for each situation. But in the case of this film, I wrote just one. All the nine songs (including two instrumentals) will be loved by all. The lead pair is looking great. Just as how Meena impressed us in Seetharammayya Gari Manavaralu, Niharika is going to impress us in Oka Manasu."

Director B Gopal said, "One day, when I was watching TV, I happened to enquire about an anchor who was very good. They told me it's Naga Babu's daughter. In a show, she imitated Naga Babu so well. Naga Babu is synonymous with goodness. She will become a big name like Varun Tej"

Producer Shyam Prasad Reddy said, "I have known Niharika since my childhood. She has all the best qualities of Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan and Naga Babu."

Industrialist Raghuram Krishnam Raju said, "In olden days, Savitri, Vani Sri and Jamuna used to evoke positivity. Niharika has such kind of positivity."

Allu Arjun, who mostly spoke about the ongoing #CheppanuBrother and #ChuskuntamBrother controversy, said, "I wish Niharika and others all the best."

TV9's Ravi Prakash said, "Rama Raju loves cinema to the fullest. I think it's possible to make versatile cinema with people like him. I have no doubt that this film will be a big hit. Niharika will rule the roost."

Allu Aravind said, "Today is an important day in Mega Family's life. Our people don't make our daughters actresses. That's why we see less and less Telugu girls in lead roles. Naga Babu is courageously introducing his daughter as heroine. By the time we knew Niharika would be becoming heroine, we had started Sarrainodu. Otherwise, she would have been the heroine."

Varun Tej said, "Sunil Kashyap is a talented music director. He composed the music for Loafer. I am happy that Niharika is getting introduced by a director like Rama Raju. As a child, Niharika would say she would become a doctor, an IAS officer. But she is now into films. Initially, I felt that films may not be her cup of tea. After looking at her confidence, I had a change of opinion."

Sunil Kashyap said, "I thank Rama Raju for choosing me as music director."

Rama Raju said, "More than an experience, Oka Manasu is a sensation. We can share experiences, but we can't share sensations. After Mallela Theeram, I didn't want to make films. Chandramouli is the reason why I have made this movie. When I was shooting in Araku, I went through an emotional crisis. I wanted to stop the film midway. It was Brahma Reddy who kept me going. It's a film me, Shourya and Niharika have made together. Madhura Sridhar looked after me as if I were his son. I wish that Niharika will be another Savitri."

Ram Charan said, "I thank Rama Raju for introducing Niharika as heroine with his film. We all know what a handsome guy Varun Tej is. Niharika is both a beautiful girl as well as a good actress. Naga Shourya is every bit that Telugu guy. Niharika is lucky to have got a co-star like him. Nanna garu gave us a platform for all of us to work hard. Niharika is going to work harder than all of us."

Naga Babu said, "Not many can digest when a daughter enters films from a family of heroes. I am proud that Charan, Bunny, Sai Dharam Tej are supporting Niharika. Niharika once questioned as to why fathers say OK if their sons want to enter films, but say NO when their daughters want to be actresses. She shut my mouth with that one question. We have to let our daughters grow as they like."

Naga Shourya said, "I thank Ramajogayya Sastry and Bhaskarabhatla for giving me lyrics that I will remember for the rest of my life. Niharika will grow as big as Savitri, Soundarya and Anushka. Oka Manasu will be remembered forever like Kamal Haasan's Sagara Sangamam and Nagarjuna's Githanjali."

Niharika said, "I love songs. The lyrics of Oka Manasu are really great. When some people talk, we would want to keep on listening intently. When the director narrated me the story, I could connect with the story. I am feeling lucky that I got to debut in the direction of Rama Raju. Naga Shourya is a good actor. If I have acted so well, it's because of his support. This film is as pure as a mother's love."
