Speaking at the pre-release function of 'Arjun Reddy', the film's producer Pranay Reddy Vanga said that, after they watch the movie, Vijay Devarakonda's contemporaries will feel jealous.

Producer Pranay Reddy Vanga said, "A few actors were given a narration of this film before Vijay came on board. All the contemporary heroes of Vijay will feel jealous after watching this movie."

When it was Sharwanand's turn to speak, he said that he was indeed jealous. "I know the film's story. I am jealous already," the 'Mahanubhavudu' star said.

Vijay, who almost doubled up as the event's host, said, "When I listened to the story of 'AR', I knew it's not for children. When I was doing the film, I knew it's definitely an 'A' film. But even after giving 'A', the Censor Board members asked us to mute a certain cuss word. We tried to explain that the situation demanded it."
