Ram Pothineni, who recently wrapped up the USA promotions of Andhra King Taluka with co-star Bhagyashri Borse, is now back in Hyderabad and participated in the Thank You Meet.
Director Mahesh Babu P expressed gratitude to the audience for the positive response and shared confidence that the film will continue to grow with strong word of mouth.
Producer Mythri Ravi admitted that while the movie is receiving good feedback, the box-office numbers are not as expected.
“Releasing in November was a big disadvantage. We truly believe the collections will rise from next weekend. If films like this don’t get support, even we will be forced to stick to commercial mass entertainers. Ram worked extremely hard, and every actor delivered a brilliant performance,” he said.
Ram Pothineni also addressed the situation with honesty:
“Many are shocked by the collections, but we actually expected this. This is a film made to emotionally connect with people. Due to various circumstances, we had to release during a dead season. I promoted this movie more than ever because I share a personal bond with the story. We’ve seen many emotions in cinema, but this one explores an untouched emotion — the bond between a star and a fan. At its heart, it’s a human story made with sincerity.”
Ram added that while some feel the team must push harder, he firmly believes in the audience:
“Some are saying ‘TFI has failed’, but I don’t believe TFI will ever fail anyone.”
He also appreciated Bhagyashri Borse, calling her “a rare talent who combines glamour with strong acting.”
With the lead pair back in the city, the team confirmed that promotions will now intensify in the coming days.
