Warner, known for his love of Telugu cinema, has often recreated iconic dance steps from films like Pushpa and Sarileru Neekevvaru, earning him a strong fan base among Telugu movie lovers.
Participating in an interview along with the other members of the cast ahead of the film’s release on March 27, S J Suryah said, “S U Arun Kumar is a Martin Scorcese fan. That will be evident in his treatment of the story. He believes that everything about the story must be natural and realistic. That was a good takeaway for me from the film.”
Taking to X, Arun Matheeswaran wrote, “Just watched #NEEK and I'm blown away by the honest portrayal of young love and friendship! Kudos to @dhanushkraja for capturing the essence of youth so beautifully. It will resonate with anyone who's ever experienced the ups and downs of growing up. Kudos to the cast as well!!!”
