Speaking at the event, Vishwak Sen said, “It is a pleasure to become a producer while acting as Rakesh Varre. If our will is strong we can achieve anything. The hero of this film is playing an important role in the film I am doing. The posters and teasers of this movie are amazing. All the best to Rakesh. I believe that there will be a success. Coming to my films, I will give an update about my two films next week.” Producer Rakesh Varre said, “When I was thinking about what to do next, the story of Peka Medalu came to me through a friend. I liked it and started this film as a producer instead of a hero. This is a story that takes place in a basti in Hyderabad. We did a workshop for this movie. A question arose as to why Vishwak was a guest. I like his commitment. He faced many difficulties in the beginning. Everyone wants to be a star. He made himself a star with the film ‘Falaknuma Das’. Now when I called him, he unexpectedly came to the teaser release.”
Actor Vinod said that the role he played in the film Peka Medalu will stand out forever. “This is the offer I got in the second lockdown. Seeing this message through social media, I thought it was fake. But tried and now I am a part of the movie. This movie’s journey went beautifully. Taking a non-Telugu hero in a Telugu film requires a lot of faith,” he said.
