Speaking on the occasion, Rajamouli expressed happiness to have watched his magnum opus starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead role, in the theatre which was built with a low cost. He was all praise for the women who played a vital role in establishing the facility. He recalled that he had mulled the idea of setting up similar theatre for quite a long time, but was jealous of the women for realizing it.
The director said that the women self-help groups set an example to others by creating the theatre which the town was deprived of for over three decades. He opined that more mobile theatres could be established in two Telugu states. He expressed concern over dwindling number of theatres with the advent of modern technology. He cited that erstwhile Andhra Pradesh had now 1,800 theatres as against 3,000 theatres in the past.

A large number of filmgoers made a beeline to Asifabad to have a glimpse of the director and jostled to take selfies with him.
