Speaking at the event, Thaman said, "Bhimavaram is always close to my heart. We earlier came here during Tholi Prema. I'm forever thankful to Varun Tej for trusting me with that film. Korean Kanakaraju is a very special project that requires a unique understanding of its humour and emotions. Merlapaka Gandhi's vision is not easy to interpret, but the producers believed in it completely. Ritika has already earned success, and I hope this film brings her even more. I’ve already watched the movie, and it will be a sure shot blockbuster."
Varun Tej reminisced about his previous visit to Bhimavaram, saying, "Eight years ago, I stood here for the Tholi Prema pre-release event. Coming back to the same venue for Korean Kanakaraju makes me incredibly happy. Our producers have stood by us throughout this journey. Merlapaka Gandhi has an outstanding comic sense, which reflects in all his films. He has presented me in a completely different style.
Thaman never compromises when it comes to music, and his background score has elevated the film immensely. This is our third collaboration, and he has once again delivered beyond expectations. Ritika has been a wonderful co-star, and I wish her continued success. Convincing Satya to join us was one of the toughest parts because of his busy schedule, but I always believed he was the perfect fit.
Our family has been fortunate to witness a successful run over the past year, and after watching Charan anna impress everyone with Peddi, I'm hoping to continue that winning streak in my own way."
