                            on this occasion SP Bala Subramanyam said that it 
                            is been 5 years since he participated in movie related 
                            functions in Hyderabad. He remembered his association 
                            with superstar Krishna. He termed Guna Sekhar as one 
                            of the 2-3 sensible directors Telugu film industry 
                            possesses. He also commended Guna Sekhar as the man 
                            of action who talks less and does more. He is in awe 
                            of veteran Veturi who can pen lyrics to any kind of 
                            tune in a minimal time of 7 minutes. He felt happy 
                            that he and his son SP Charan sang for the same hero 
                            Mahesh Babu in the same album of Arjun. He said that 
                            Mahesh Babu is a sensible, wonderful and at-ease artist. 
                            He finds Mahesh Babu to extremely good in emotional 
                            scenes, which would make him an everlasting hero in 
                            Telugu film industry. He requested Mahesh Babu not 
                            to get disappointed if any of his experimental films 
                            does fail. He requested Mahesh to do 4 films every 
                            year - 2 experimental films of his own choice and 
                            two commercial films. He requested Mahesh fans to 
                            encourage and support Mahesh's experimental flicks. 
                            He praised Mani for doing good recording of Arjun 
                            album in such a way that beats did not dominate the 
                            lyrics. SPB gave a pat to art director Thota Tharani 
                            for recreating the Madhura magic in Hyderabad by creating 
                            a set with exact dimensions.

                            Sobhan Babu who mentioned that Mahesh Babu is the 
                            best artist among the youth heroes.
