KCR: "I came here as NTR's fan to offer my blessing to Balakrishna's landmark movie. A biopic of Gautamiputra Satakarni is a great attempt. Its a story, people of every region should be aware of. Balayya deserves appreciation for taking up the challenge to make such a movie on a grand scale. This film will run for 200 days".
"Telugus were addressed as Madrasi. It was then NTR made the World realize the greatness of Telugu culture and brought an identity to us. NTR will be remembered forever and you can't find a person who doesn't know about him in Telugu States. There are speculations about removal of NTR Gardens. These reports were false and we will protect all of NTR memorials".
"I appeal Balakrishna and Director Krish to arrange a special screening of 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' soon after the first copy was ready. I wish to watch this historical film with Megastar Chiranjeevi and all of the guests present here".
