Speaking at the audio release function of 'Janatha Garage', NTR urged his fans to not squander away milk by doing 'abhisekham' to his cut-outs. "After 'Nannaku Prematho', I saw several photos of my fans doing 'palabhisekham' to my cut-outs. That is what should be done to Gods. I am your brother. I sincerely urge you all to instead donate the milk to orphans. Thousands of pregnant women have no milk to drink. Also, don't kill animals in 'bali'. Instead, organize 'anna danams' at theatres. I hope you fans will do that", Young Tiger said in an emotional speech.

In his characteristic style, NTR thanked his fans as soon as he began the speech. "I always believe I can salvage my debt to you. But I know I can't in this lifetime. I want to be born again and again to repay you the debt. In this life, I was blessed to be born as the grandson of a great man, as the son of a great mother and father", he said.

"This is the season of Pushkarams, which is a once-in-twelve-years ritual. I didn't understand where I was going in the initial days of my career. Everything seemed well when I was young. God teaches us things by giving us a jolt. When I was going through a low patch, Vakkantham Vamsi narrated me a story. Even though Puri Jagannadh could have written a story on his own, he believed in Vamsi's story. Thus came 'Temper'. I could see light at the end of the tunnel. That was 'Temper'. Then came 'Nannaku Prematho'. There is a brighter light in vision. It's 'Janatha Garage'. These films have/are taken/taking me nearer to my destination. We can't always plan the things. Koratala had told me this story two years ago. I couldn't do it because of my prior commitments. I heard this story when I was busy with acting in would-be flops", he said.

NTR shared the meaning of 'Jai NTR' as decoded by a fan. "A fan has said through a poster that reversing the letters means - 'Rabhasa', 'Temper', 'Nannaku Prematho', and 'Janatha Garage'. I am feeling happy that this film is coming after the auspicious Pushkarams. God must have predetermined all this".

"If a writer stops writing, an actor would have no work. It's the director who materializes a story. I am very happy that Siva is one of the few directors who can also write so well. I don't need to talk about his track record", he said.

About Mohanlal, NTR said, "I feel lucky that I got to work with a great actor (Mohanlal). Mohanlal garu is a great man. I had the opportunity to travel with him for six months. Mohanlal garu is the most blissful, most child-like soul. DSP is one of the few persons who is so passionate about work. His dedication is amazing. I got to work with Samantha and Nithya, who are fine actresses. Nithya is one of the finest actresses we have. The producers are very good producers, very good human beings".

He was all praise for Thirru. "PC Sriram garu is my favourite cinematographer. 'Kshatriya Putrudu' is my favourite film. Thirru garu had worked as an assistant for that film. I am glad he is the cinematographer for 'Janatha Garage'. I am so honoured to have worked with him".

NTR last made an appeal to the Telugu people to welcome the pilgrims for pushkarams with honour. "After 12 years have come the 'pushkarams' to our Telugu States. We should welcome them in such a way that they taste our Teluguness. I am urging the Telugu people on this occasion to welcome them".
