During the course of interaction, the Defence Minister appreciated the team for their efforts. He congratulated the director Sashi Kiran Tikka and Adivi Sesh for presenting the story of a brave hero of India. The makers would soon be organising a special screening of the movie for Defence Minister and his family.
