What even the National Award-winning 'Kanche' didn't do to him, 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' has. Krish is now in the league of top massy directors. With the Balakrishna-starrer crossing USD 1.5 Million in the US, Krish has penned an open letter from that country.

"How can I share or communicate my beaming emotions with you? Words fall short to describe the warmth of joy and endearing affection you showed on me. My silence speaks volumes without ever saying a word. I feel the pride of winning a Nation and sense the instinct of embracing whole Telugu land at once," he has said.

I always had vast confidence in the judgement of Telugu cinema-loving audience and their empathising with good films. You gave birth to a new Krish in me by deeply respecting my first historical presentation of the story of an unsung Telugu warrior emperor Gautamiputra Satakarni. Your slogans of Saho Satakarni in front of cinema theatres have showered millions of blessings on me.

No rest, no interval, every technician and artist associated with this landmark film are drenched in pleasure and pride.

All I got to do is just bow my head before legendary Basavarama Tarakaputra Balakrishna for coalescing his 99 movies invaluable experience to inaugurate himself as one and only Gautamiputra Satakarni in the 100th. This victory belongs to him.

My last one word for all my Telugu audience, I discern it as a root responsibility to recount every second of my life with you," Anjanaputra Krish says, signing off.
