Heroines’ roles are crucial in the film. I am extremely confident on the success of the film.”

When I started narrating the script to Nani, he just listened 10 minutes and given his nod. Nani garu spoke Chittur accent with ease. Anupama and Rukshar Mir have given wonderful performances. Hip Hop Tamizha’s music is excellent. Prashanthi garu has made the film look colourful.”
Heroine Anupama Parameswaran said, “I am visiting Tirupati for the first time. I have been wanting to visit this place since long time and now it happened. Director Gandhi garu has penned interesting dialogues. I am thankful to cameraman and Prashanthi garu. Songs are already a big hit. Rukshar Mir and I together have some scenes. Nani is a perfect guy. If he takes up a project means, he takes care of everything in film.”
Hip Hop Tamizha said, “My first film in Telugu is ‘Dhruva’. Nearly after 1 year I did ‘Krishnarjuna Yuddham’. ‘Daari Choodu’ song will become trending. The song was made with Chittur folk song. We made Penchala Das to sing a folk song. We have given music after making him sing the song. I will encourage such talented people in my future films also. Re-recording came out wonderfully. This is the first time I met Nani. I would like to thank the director Gandhi. I am very happy to provide music and background score to this film. The film will have thrilling elements also along with comedy.”
Penchala Das, said, “I sing folk songs. I am a painter too. I used to sing songs at writers’ meeting at arts auditorium in SV University. Gandhi garu’s father Murali garu and Bala garu promised me they would give me the opportunity in films. I got the opportunity to sing for ‘Express Raja’. But, I missed it due to my health issues. Again they called me for this film. They were very much impressed by my song and took me to Madras. This is how I got the opportunity to sing a song for Krishnarjuna Yudham. I am very happy that offers are pouring in for me.”
