I earlier worked as an assistant director on films featuring Rajendra Prasad garu and Brahmanandam garu such as Naannaku Prematho and Arya 2. Standing beside them today as a director feels like a blessing.\r\nThis film has a special emotional connection for me. My friend Vikram wanted to make a film based on a single-line idea, but his untimely demise left that dream incomplete. His friend Uday developed that line into a story and is now making it as a film, which makes me immensely happy.\r\n&lsquo;Sahakutumbanam&rsquo; carries the essence of Sukumar garu&rsquo;s storytelling style. I wholeheartedly wish the cast, crew, and producers great success. My best wishes to the entire team.&rdquo;\r\nActor Rajendra Prasad&rsquo;s Speech\r\n&ldquo;Greetings to Sabha Saraswathi and my Telugu audience. It gave me immense happiness to act once again with Brahmanandam garu and to see many of my former colleagues growing to great heights.\r\nA film actor remains in the hearts of audiences only when the roles they choose leave a deep impact. I became close to people from many regions by portraying characters with different dialects.\r\nIn my 48-year-long career, I have never heard or performed a story like Sahakutumbanam. This film beautifully portrays the value, importance, and emotional foundation of family.\r\nI owe my acting life to the legendary N.T. Rama Rao garu, who shaped me as an artist.\r\nHero Raam Kiran performed remarkably well, learning everything with dedication.\r\nI wholeheartedly wish producer Mahadev Goud garu continues to make meaningful films like this. I request all audiences to watch Sahakutumbanam in theatres.&rdquo;\r\nBrahma Brahmanandam&rsquo;s Speech\r\n&ldquo;Greetings to everyone. Director Uday Sharma is a perfectionist who ensures he gets exactly what he envisions. Behind him, Arjun Sai provided tremendous support.\r\nRajendra Prasad garu guided him in fine-tuning performances, and Uday brought out the best from all of us.\r\nMy character in this film is very unique. Raam Kiran, the film&rsquo;s hero, is a talented dancer. I enjoyed acting in a few scenes along with the lead pair.\r\nI sincerely wish the producer Mahadev Goud garu great success and hope audiences will give this film a big hit.&rdquo;\r\nProducer Mahadev Goud&rsquo;s Words\r\n&ldquo;This is the first film from HNG Cinemas. I loved the story of Sahakutumbanam and brought together the best cast and technicians. I hope everyone supports us and helps make this film a grand success.&rdquo;\r\nDirector Uday Sharma&rsquo;s Speech\r\n&ldquo;I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Buchi Babu garu for launching our trailer as the chief guest. My special thanks to Rajendra Prasad garu, Brahmanandam garu, Mani Sharma garu, and every artist and technician who made this film possible.\r\nMy journey to this stage was possible because of my friend Vikram, Arjun Sai, and producer Mahadev Goud.\r\nOur lead actors Raam Kiran and Megha Akash delivered excellent performances. Mani Sharma garu scoring music for my debut film is a huge honour. Madhu, our DOP, gave outstanding visuals. I hope the film receives immense love from the audience.&rdquo;\r\nHero Raam Kiran&rsquo;s Speech\r\n&ldquo;My sincere thanks to producer Mahadev Goud garu for trusting me as a hero. I worked very hard, heard many scripts, and finally entered the Telugu film industry which I deeply love.\r\nActing alongside Megha Akash garu, who has performed with many big stars, was a great learning experience. Director Uday Sharma garu beautifully created a family within the story.\r\nIt is a dream come true to have music by Mani Sharma garu. My 16-year-long dream of becoming a hero has been fulfilled because of my mentors.\r\nI thank my dance masters, the entire team, and Buchi Babu garu for supporting our trailer launch. I request the audience to bless our film in theatres.&rdquo;

The pollution and air quality in Delhi is often a point of discussion. In the midst of all this, Taapsee shared her views on it.\r\nShe said&nbsp; \"It\'s not like we all didn\'t see this coming. I think everyone who says they weren\'t anticipating this to happen was either unreasonably optimistic or living under a rock.\"\r\nShe continued , \"I wonder what exactly we are working so hard and earning for when we can&rsquo;t even afford clean air? We are putting ourselves through inhuman conditions and especially the older and future generations. What I foresee is that all people who can afford and have means, will slowly start leaving to places which makes basic living possible. And as always those who will suffer the most will be the poor and marginal class who don&rsquo;t have anywhere to go. It\'s time we start taking public health and the environment concerns seriously.\"\r\n<div></div>
