The pre-release event of 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu' was held in Hyderabad on Monday. Allu Arjun gave a heart-felt speech on the occasion.

"Sai Pallavi is an extraordinary actress. I am waiting to perform opposite her in a song. I have watched 'Vachinde' number the highest number of times. A star hero is her fan but I won't reveal his name," Bunny said. "Hanu Raghavapudi is so cool when it comes to making love stories. I have wanted to do a love story with him. My gut feeling is that 'PPLM' will be his biggest hit," he added.

"Although I know Sharwanand garu personally, I would use 'garu' because he has earned a certain stature for himself. Some people don't put a 'garu' after the names of the likes of KCR garu and Chandrababu Naidu garu. It's ok to criticize them but use a 'garu' after their name. Someone recently was saying 'Hey, Chiranjeevi ni pilavu'. 'Chiranjeevi enti ra?! 'Chiranjeevi garu'. Learn to respect everyone. Say 'Pawan Kalyan garu'. Just because they are politicians, it doesn't mean we can call them by names," the Stylish Star said.

"A director once told me Sharwanand garu can't do comedy. I won't reveal his name. When he watched 'Run Raja Run', he got mad and accepted that the hero can do everything. I have always admired him. He is a self-made hero. I am proud to be here today with him. I am a brand ambassador of nepotism," he said.

"Very few trailers thrill me instantly. 'PPLM' trailer is one rare one which did magic to me. I like love stories and just because I am married, it doesn't mean I can no longer prefer love stories (laughs). To paraphrase 'Indra' dialogue: 'Pelli aipoindi, pillala tandri aipoyadu anukunnara? Ade youth, ade energy'. I appreciate first-time producer Sudhakar garu. I have heard a lot of good things about him. My first respect to writer Hanu Raghavapudi garu and lyricist KK garu. I loved Vishal Chandrasekhar garu's music for 'Krishnagaadi Veera Prema Gadha'. Once again, I have loved his music for this movie," he added.

The film releases on December 21.
