Chandra Bose garu, congratulations, Oscar stage meedha mana paata, thank you. Prem master, your contribution to the song is invaluable, my personal Oscar goes to you. Bhairava’s BGM is what inspired me to go ahead with Naatu Naatu after hesitating for a long time. Love you Bhairi babu, super energetic vocals by Rahul and Bhairava enhanced the song. The main reason is Tarak and Charan’s sync and style. They danced their way into the hearts of audiences across the globe, sorry for the torture. But I will not hesitate to do it again."

My brothers at Walls and Trends worked 24.7 giving shoutouts and made sure everyone heard about the film and the song. Thank you, Pradeep, Harsha, and Chaitanya. Efficiently handled by Accolade, Variance, Potentate, Divergent and Cinetic, thank you. One more step to go.”
