While taking the shield from Chiranjeevi, Sukumar also called two co-directors (Prakash and Vema Reddy) who helped him a lot.

Film industry needs more hits - Chiranjeevi

Sukumar's home work and hard work is inspiring - Chiranjeevi
Speaking about Sukumar, he said that a small different idea could lead into a brilliant film and Arya is an example of it.

I am jealous of Amalapuram song - Chiranjeevi

Allu Arjun is a Stylish Star - Chiranjeevi

Chiranjeevi laughed at that incident for the image Telugu film industry is carrying. Likewise, one fine day Allu Arvind said to Chiranjeevi that his 1st and 3rd sons are doing pretty fine. But his second son Allu Arjun has become a troublesome problem to Allu Arvind as he was not doing well in studies. But Allu Arjun wanted to join film industry. That's how Gangotri was made followed by Arya. Chiranjeevi highly praised Allu Arjun for his stylized performance and called him as 'Stylish Star'. Chiranjeevi felt that the dances of Allu Arjun have electricity, preciseness and energy.

Hats of to Pawan Kalyan - Chiranjeevi
