The MAD Square gang gathered at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad for a grand success bash celebrating the film’s triumph…. Blockbuster MAXX Success Celebrations was a star studded affair. Man of Masses NTR graced the occasion as the chief guest.
The highlight of the evening was Jr. NTR’s appearance which sent the crowd into a frenzy. While addressing the audience, he was full of praise for the team and extended his best wishes to each and every member.
Blockbuster Director Trivikram also graced the event.
NTR Said:
It’s been a long time since I met you like this and today, thanks to Nagavamsi, we’re all together again. Making people laugh is a true blessing. No matter how many struggles or hardships we face, when someone makes us laugh, we feel like we can forget our pain and move forward. People who can do that are rare. Today, we have one such person with us director Kalyan Shankar.
Congratulations to all the actors and technicians who stood by such a wonderful director. Murali who played the father’s role was outstanding.
And Anthony! While watching the film, I found myself clapping when he entered. In MAD 1, they used to say ‘Deentoni’ about Anthony that character is unforgettable. Giving a comedy character a mass hero style entry was so well done.
Coming to Vishnu, who played Laddu — I don’t think the film would’ve been such a hit without him.
When I see Sangeeth and his brother Santosh, I’m reminded of their father, the late Sobhan. I met him once — I’ve never seen someone as humble as him. I believe Sobhan is with us today proud of his son’s success.
Ram Nithin in MAD 1 reminded me of myself when I was younger. It’s not easy to perform in front of a camera but he did it so well. Comedy timing is very hard for an actor which is why I’m thinking of doing Adhurs 2! Ram Nithin has a bright future.
I got married in 2011 and back then, Nithin was just a little kid. He was so shy, he was scared to even talk to me. But the only line he ever boldly told me was, ‘Bava, I want to become an actor.’ I told him go ahead and follow your heart.
I also thoroughly enjoyed Satyam Rajesh and Kartikeya’s comedy in the film.
After Brahmanandam garu, MS Narayana garu, and Dharmavarapu garu, the actor who can make us laugh on that level is Sunil.
Congrats to music director Bheems garu, lyricist Kasarla Shyam garu and everyone who worked on this film.
There’s a famous dialogue in Attarintiki Daredi — ‘There’s always an unseen force behind you.’ That unseen force behind everyone here is Nagavamsi. He has an immense passion for cinema. His words may be tough, but his heart is kind. And it’s that kindness that will always protect him.
Trivikram Srinivas:
Congratulations to the entire MAD team — the actors and technicians each and every one of them.
It always feels a bit awkward to praise our own family during a family function and that’s why I won’t speak much today. I’ll just say one thing and wrap this up.
Hearing everyone chant ‘Jai NTR’ reminded me of the word ‘Giant’ and truly, he is a giant.”
Hero Narne Nithiin:
Thank you so much to all the fans of my bava who came to this event.
There’s a dialogue from Janatha Garage that I want to say — ‘For a change… there’s strength beside the weak.’
I’m not just saying this casually. After we wrapped MAD-1 there was no buzz around the film. It was Jr. NTR who launched the trailer and that brought all the buzz we needed. People showed up in theaters and the rest is history and movie became a big hit.
Now we’re back with MAD Square. Thank you so much bava. We’ll always be indebted to you.
Sangeeth Shoban:
A big thank you to NTR garu for attending this event.
When he launched the trailer of MAD it felt like we had conquered the world.
Now having him here for the MAD Square success meet is another dream come true.
Ram Nithin:
NTR garu was the first star I met after entering the film industry.
The trailer launch of MAD happened through him and I’ll never forget that.
Now, he’s here again as the Chief Guest for the MAD Square success meet. What more could I ask for?
Thank you to Trivikram garu for giving Telugu cinema so many great films.
Kalyan Shankar:
Thank you to NTR garu and Trivikram garu for attending this celebration.
I must especially thank three people:
Without Nagavamsi garu I wouldn’t be here.
Without Chinnababu garu MAD wouldn’t have happened.
Without editor Naveen Nooli garu, we wouldn’t have had such a big hit.
And of course, thank you to each and every actor and technician who contributed to this success.
Music Director Bheems, Sunil, Priyanka Jawalkar, Reba Monica John, Vishnu Oi, Satyam Rajesh, Kartikeya, Anthony Ravi, Ram Prasad, lyricist Kasarla Shyam and many others also attended the event and expressed their heartfelt thanks to the audience for the massive success of MAD Square.
This was the event fans had been eagerly waiting for to finally see and hear their hero. His words turned the evening into a true CELEBRATION.
