- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,January 21 2018]
The audio of 'Tholi Prema' was released on Saturday evening at a star-studded event in Hyderabad. Besides the cast and crew members, it was attended by Dil Raju and others.
Senior actor Naresh said, "This is the first time that I have worked under the SVCC banner. BVSN Prasad garu is one of the most passionate producers. The director, Venky, has been wearing that smile since the beginning. The film is as beautiful as his smile. Varun, Bunny, Ram Charan and my son Nawin - I have seen them since they were 'moodu adugula bullet'. Today, Varun is 6 ft tall. He is handsome and is evolving as an actor. Annayya Chiranjeevi garu and Pawan Kalyan garu are two of my favourite people. Power Star is a genuine people's man. I am saying this whole-heartedly."
Thaman spoke highly of his fellow technicians, especially cinematographer George Williams, who had previously done such big films as 'Theri', 'Kaththi', and 'Raja Rani'.
Choreographer Satish, who is the favourite of the likes of Vijay and Ajith of Kollywood, mentioned Pawan Kalyan's name in his speech.
Vamshi Paidipally said, "I know how passionate is Venky Atluri. I think whoever is his first love, he seems to have hurt him a lot. Thaman never fails when it comes to music. 'TP' is going to go down as one of the best audios. I hope this film will be a big leap for Varun Tej after 'Fidaa'.
Allu Aravind said, "BVSN Prasad garu was with me always during the making of 'Magadheera', of which he was a co-producer. He made 'Attarintiki Daredi' with Power Star. He made 'Arya-2' with Bunny. Thaman is an extraordinary music director, but to extract the best from him, we have to toil so much!" The producer then praised Varun Tej's dedication.
Dil Raju said, "Without remembering Power Star's 'Tholi Prema', this event wouldn't have any value. This second 'Tholi Prema' had to be produced on our banner. But Sekhar Kammula then overtook Venky. It goes to show the positive relations that the project was willingly taken over by Prasad garu. I have watched the film. It's a beautiful film. If that 'TP' created history in 1998, this 'TP' will make it big in 2018. Pawan Kalyan garu had 'Tammudu' after 'TP'. Varun Tej has got 'TP' after a big hit like 'Fidaa'. Varun's dances in this movie are nice."
Director Venky Atluri thanked his entire team and described his film as a heart-touching one.
Varun Tej said, "When Venky suggested 'Tholi Prema' should be the title, I was scared. If anything goes wrong, we will be taught a lesson. The title is associated with a blockbuster of Babai. I hope that our film will definitely justify the title. I had listened to this story before 'Fidaa' and 'Loafer'. Venky could have gone to some other hero, but he waited for me. I thank him for that. My stress comes down whenever I speak to BVSN Prasad garu. Everybody has worked on this film with love. A love story needs good music and beautiful visuals. And George Williams has ensured great cinematography. I have tried to dance well in the movie.
Raashi Khanna is one heroine I could act with without having to lower my gaze too much! Thaman has worked with Charan anna and Bunny anna in the past. Finally, I got to work with him. I have talked with Kalyan babai, daddy (Chiranjeevi) and Charan before coming to this event. They couldn't come here as they are very busy. They will come next time definitely. Fans have always supported our family. The foundation laid by Pedannana was taken forward by Kalyan babai. We are going to live up to the work they did."
