I’m happy to see Ashok making his debut as a Telugu producer. I thoroughly enjoyed the teaser, and the film features some heart-touching songs. With Anji backing the project, I’m sure director Dhanraj has made a wonderful film. Watching Divija feels like seeing a heroine from our own family. I wholeheartedly wish Hey Chikittha becomes a grand success.”
Actor Prabhakar said, “Thank you to everyone who attended the teaser launch. Seeing so many distinguished guests here already feels like a victory for our film. When Dhanraj narrated the story, we couldn’t stop laughing during the first-half narration. He possesses the qualities of directors like Trivikram, Puri Jagannadh, and Dasarath. The story itself is the true hero of this film. The concept of ‘Raithe Raju’ (Farmer is King) is beautifully connected with Pawanism. Dhanraj has crafted a story that will entertain audiences across all sections. Realistic stories rooted in our society have become rare, and such films deserve support. He drew inspiration from real incidents in his village. Charan Arjun has delivered excellent music, and every artist in the film has performed brilliantly. I was amazed by Anji’s work as a producer and cinematographer. He completed the film in a single schedule without wasting a single rupee. I’m happy to have played an important role, and Divija has transformed herself beautifully for the character. I wish the film great success.”
Director Dhanraj Lekkala said , “I got this opportunity because of Anji garu, and I thank Ashok garu for believing in me. I’m a die-hard fan of Pawan Kalyan. The story revolves around five Pawan Kalyan fans from a village, which is why the title Hey Chikittha was chosen. Every Pawan Kalyan film carries a meaningful message in its introduction song. Inspired by that, I made a three-hour commercial entertainer that speaks about farmers. Along with strong emotions, I have included all the commercial ingredients. Divija and Abhinav have performed exceptionally well. I thank every artist who supported me on this journey. My brother Charan Arjun has always stood by me, and audiences will appreciate his music after watching the film. Anyone who cares about farmers and rural life will definitely connect with this movie.”
Hero Abhinav Manikanta said , “This film happened because of Anji garu, and I got this opportunity thanks to Charan Arjun garu. We witnessed Anji garu’s dedication as both producer and cinematographer, while Ashok garu constantly encouraged us. Dhanraj is an immensely talented filmmaker who wanted to bring his village’s story to the big screen and shot the film in his native place itself. This is a great phase for Divija, and the story completely justifies the title. We worked day and night to complete the film in a single schedule. We hope audiences will support our film.”
Actress Divija Prabhakar said, “Thank you to everyone who came to support Hey Chikittha. Anji garu and Ashok garu stood by us throughout the journey. We completed the entire shoot in just 21 days in a single schedule. Dhanraj Lekkala is an exceptionally talented director. I thank him and the producers for trusting me with the role of Chitti. I’m delighted to be part of a film with Charan Arjun’s music. We all worked extremely hard, and I hope audiences bless our film when it releases on July 24.”
Producer Garudavega Anji said, “We started these production houses with the intention of introducing fresh and meaningful stories. Many more quality films will follow under our banners. Hey Chikittha has shaped up wonderfully, and we also aspire to introduce many talented directors and artists. Ashok garu is a man of few words, but his commitment speaks volumes. We are releasing the film grandly on July 24. Good content always finds support from distributors, OTT platforms, and audiences alike. I thank all our guests for encouraging us and request the media to continue supporting our film.”
Director Nageswara Reddy said , “I have already watched Hey Chikittha, and it is an impressive film. Charan Arjun’s songs are outstanding, and Dhanraj has a deep understanding of Telangana’s culture, which is reflected beautifully on screen. Initially, I wondered whether audiences would encourage such a fresh and small film, but I’m confident they will. The film revolves around the spirit of Pawanism and is sure to resonate with Pawan Kalyan fans, who will make it a big success.”
