The audio launch event of Suriya's 'Rakshasudu', the Telugu version of 'Masss', was held at Shilpa Kala Vedika in Hyderabad. Suriya, A.Kodanda Ramireddy, Prabhas, Venkat Prabhu, Premgi Amaren, Yuvan Shankar Raja etc attended the event. Prabhas launched the audio and gave the first copy to Suriya.

A.Kodanda Ramireddy said, "I am very happy seeing the reception Suriya got here in Hyderabad. Many of our big stars including legendary NTR, ANR, Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Venkatesh etc used to live in Chennai and the people there are very good. Watching the teaser of Suriya's 'Rakshasudu', I am sure that it will be a super hit. My 'Rakshasudu' with Chiranjeevi was released on October 2nd, 1986. It was a super hit and my movie with Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, which was released on the same day, was also a big hit. Ilayaraja composed music for my 'Rakshasudu'. Songs like Malli Malli Idhi Rani Roju were big hits then. Now his son Yuvan Shankar Raja composed music for this 'Rakashasudu'. I hope this film will also be a big success".

Premji Amaren said, "I thank Prabhas and Kodanda Ramireddy uncle for coming here. I am very happy to be a part of Suriya anna's film. My brother Yuvan gave very good musical score. 'Rakshasudu' is a fun ride and I hope everyone would love it".

Venkat Prabhu said, " I thank Prabhas and Kodanda Ramireddy sir for gracing the audio launch.This is the first time I am seeing so much of love and affection from Hyderabad people. Our film will be released in Telugu and Tamil on 29th. Let's meet again then".

Prabhas said, "Gnanavel Raja is a very good producer. He is a friend of Vamsi and Pramod. They are going to release 'Baahubali' in Tamil together. Venkat Prabhu is a very good director. He makes very different films. I like his 'Chennai 600028' very much. I am not so big actor to speak about Suriya's acting. But I like his eyes and the intensity in them. I love many of his films, but 'Kaakha Kaakha' is my favourite. I hope 'Rakshasudu' will be a big success".

Suriya said, "I am very thankful to the Telugu audiences for the unconditional love they are showing towards me. I can't ask for more. Everyone of us worked hard. Venkat Prabhu directed the film well and Yuvan gave very good songs. I hope our 'Rakshasudu' will be received well. I thank Kodanda Ramireddy uncle for coming here and blessing us. Prabhas is a sweet heart. We spent time together in RFC, when I was shooting for 'Rakshasudu' and he for 'Baahubali'. He invited me to lunch and I can't forget the taste of mixed Biryani served at his home. I was floored by the love and hospitality shown towards me by their family members. Rana is also a very good friend of mine. The whole country is waiting for 'Baahubali'. I am sure it will be a massive hit".
