I would like to thank the entire director team, casting director Satish, editor Prasad. Music composed by Krishna Saurabh is amazing in Pindam. He is a great talent, he has a long way to go. Actor Sriram garu is very cool.

I thank the entire media fraternity for standing behind us like a pillar. Pindam has once again proved that audiences would come to theatres if the content is good. The result of Pindam showed the increase in theatres elsewhere. Actor Sriram has been looking the same as he appeared in television when I was a small boy. I am blessed to have worked with him. Entire cast and crew did a marvelous job. Ravi Varma's character was kept under the wraps because we decided to surprise audiences.
Actor Sriram: It's 15 long years since I got a break in Telugu film industry. I first thank the audiences for giving me the success after a longtime. You have given us the belief that a film is made with discipline, hardwork and sincerity, it would certainly give success. Yesterday, when I was having a nice time with my family, I said one thing. Never give up in life. There will be a ray of hope. It gives a start again. I must say that the media has been very supportive all through our journey. I thank PRO Venugopal garu for his dedication in promoting the film Pindam. I thank Shanker Pictures distributors.
