Supreme Hero Sai Dharam Tej said, ‘Mom I love you. Mom, I made this film for you and Vaisshnav. My film career began in 2009. My first film was released five years later. There will be no turning back until 2016. The audience accepted me and rewarded me with hits. Then there were six consecutive flops. I questioned myself. After that, I began learning, which I continued until April 2019. Then I released the film Chitralahari. Sukumar Garu attended as the film’s chief guest. He is now the producer of my film.
When I went to the shooting of the film Attarintiki Daredi, I met Prasad. They’ve been supporting me on ever since. Bapi Anna is also on my side at all times. On September 10, 2021, I slipped on the bike by accident. Riding a bike is not wrong in my opinion. My life revolves around my bike. I’m not sure if it was September 16th or 17th. I saw my mother and younger brother when I woke up. But I couldn’t say anything. I’m sorry, but I can’t even say I love you.
I can’t take the pains, stomach ache, or anything else. There is nothing coming out of my mouth. Suffering causes pain and alters people’s lives. Anyway, I wanted to talk, and I struggled and suffered for it, but I got your love. No matter how difficult it is, I will continue to receive your love. I’m not telling you this story to make you feel sorry for me or get sympathy. I told you this to inspire you as well. You should make your parents proud. Make your parents and teachers proud by waking up and standing up. You must all work hard to achieve greatness. Then I’ll be happy. Everyone who rides a bike should wear a helmet.
This film will be released on April 21. It’s bound to be a success. This film was created to entertain you. Sukumar garu said, “Listen, Tej, I’ll send you a good story.” I expected them to send a good love story. However, a thriller was sent. I’m terrified of horror films. Karthik did an excellent job narrating and directing the film. Thank you to our producers Bapi Anna and Prasad for their support. Shamdat Gari’s lighting is stunning. Nagendra’s sets will undoubtedly leave everyone speechless. Ajaneesh RR’s work is incredible. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the film. They were extremely supportive. We’re coming with movies to win your heart. Thanks to Samudrakhani garu for allowing me to collaborate on a film with my guru. The movie will make the collar fly. “I am on this stage today because of my three uncles,” he explained.
Sukumar said, ‘There’s a lot to say about Virupaksha’s film. I didn’t like the story that director Karthik Dandu came up with. However, the narration was enjoyable. I told him he needed to tell a different story. Then he said Virupaksha, which was incredible. I then called Bapi and told him what had happened. Karthik came to me in an critical stage of mind. He directed this film after recovering from a medical problem. Kartik’s platelets will be increased by steroids, and he wanted to make at least one film before he died. He made this film with his mother’s blessing.
I believe that this film will be a huge success, and that Karthik will become a valuable asset to the industry. When Jagadam failed, nobody believed me. But Prasad garu believed in me and continued to give me money every month. Thank you for your encouragement; it is the reason I am here right now. Sham’s visuals are incredible. If this film is a success, he will receive a lot of credit. Ajaneesh did an excellent job with the RR and sound design. Nagendra’s sets were stunning. They didn’t look like sets because they were so real.
Samyukta was fluent in Telugu. I was terrified before I cast Samyukta in this role. She did, however, perform brilliantly. We attended the wedding of Dil Raju’s daughter. I met Sai Dharam Tej at that time. He has a lot of jokes that will make everyone laugh. I saw him again on the set of Virupaksha. After recovering from the accident, he joined the sets and learned every single letter on the first day. It’s like a new beginning for him as an actor. Sai’s first film following the accident. ‘I want it to be a big success,’ he said.

The teaser for the film was appreciated by the Power Star. Sukumar heard this story and stated that he will write and produce it. BVSN Prasad garu advised me to shoot the film on a larger scale. Prasad deserves credit for making this film so good. Everyone used to think Sai Dharam Tej was fantastic. However, after working with him, I learned more about him. This film will be a career best film in his career.’
Thanks to him for giving me this opportunity. Everyone enjoyed working for this film. Thank you for being a part of this film, Samyuktha. Everyone did an excellent job in their respective roles. Instead of actors, it features characters created by me. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the film. With his visuals, Sham Sir demonstrated the vision I had in mind. Nagendra’s Rudravanam was superbly crafted. Ajaneesh RR will be beneficial to the film. We gave the editor a three-hour film, and he returned with a two-hour and 24-minute film. Thanks to Naveen for the flawless editing that didn’t leave out a single emotion. Rajasekhar’s DTS mix is fantastic. I enjoy watching horror films. With this film, I have paid off the horror genre’s debt,’ he said.
