Sai Rajesh also made an interesting remark, saying that while Baby was a blockbuster, he personally feels 'Chennai Love Story' is even closer to his heart. He praised producers SKN and Dheeraj Mogilineni for choosing Telugu actress Sri Gouri Priya as the film's heroine instead of opting for more established names. According to him, Gouri Priya accepted the story immediately without hesitation, which reflected her confidence in the project.

The writer also appreciated lyricist Anantha Sriram, saying every song in the film has connected well with audiences. He particularly highlighted 'Chirunavvutho', calling it one of the most memorable songs in the movie.

In a light-hearted moment, he joked that a portion of the actor's remuneration is still pending. He also praised Kiran's commitment, saying the actor attended shoots day and night without worrying about call sheets or schedules.

Kiran Abbavaram, in his speech, described 'Chirunavvutho' as one of the most special songs of his career. He also shared that every film he has worked on with cinematographer Vishwas has turned out to be a blockbuster, and he is happy that the streak has continued with Chennai Love Story.

The actor appreciated co-star Trigun, saying it was admirable that he accepted an important role despite entering the industry before him. Kiran also praised Sri Gouri Priya for her dedication, stating that she worked tirelessly throughout the shoot with remarkable commitment and professionalism.

Speaking about producer SKN, Kiran said his passion for cinema is unmatched. He revealed that the producer went the extra mile to ensure the film was completed on time, even arranging additional shooting schedules whenever necessary.

Kiran further shared that Sai Rajesh had predicted on the very first day of narration that the film would become a major hit, and he is delighted that the prediction has come true. Although he initially had doubts about whether he could do justice to the role, he is now thrilled to see family audiences connecting emotionally with the film in theatres.

The success meet concluded with the team expressing gratitude to audiences for their overwhelming support. They said the film's success once again proves that a strong story and sincere performances will always find appreciation from moviegoers.
