Actor Srihari and director V.V.Vinayak were the chief guests for the audio release function of Manikyam 420, the dubbed Telugu version of the hit Tamil movie Tiruttu Payale starring Jeevan, Sonia Agarwal and Malavika, at Ramanaidu Studios on 26th October. The film’s director Sushi Ganeshan, producer’s Aravind and Mallikarjun, hero Jeevan and music director Bharadwaj were also in attendance.

Speaking about the film’s hero, Jeevan, guest V.V.Vinayak said, "Jeevan’s performance as Panda in Khakha Khakha is really good. He was so good as the villain that he literally sent shivers down people’s spine. He is a very talented actor and I am sure that he has given an equally spell binding performance as the hero in this film. I wish for my friend, Mallikarjun’s and his team’s success".

Comparing music director Bharadwaj to music maestro Ilayaraja, V.V.Vinayak said "After Ilayaraja, Bharadwaj, who started his career with Sogasu Choodatarama, is the only other south Indian music director who can compose such melodious tunes".

The film’s cast and crew also spoke on the occasion.
