The producer further added, “We don't want to give any excuses but learn from this costly mistake and see how we can turnaround to make sure, we will never repeat the mistakes. Our sincere apologies to all those who put trust on us. We will make it up for the losses with dedicated planning & hardwork in our future projects.”

Several social media users commented on the tweet by Anil Sunkara. One user wrote, “Hatsoff sir.  🙏🙏🙏. These days hardly any producer accepts failures in public. I wish u learn from mistakes and all the best sir for upcoming projects. I believe u will come back stronger with commercial blockbusters very soon.” Another comment read, “Admirable courage in embracing failure, as a financier you've tacitly expressed that monetary allocation relies more on pairings than narratives, significantly impacting Tollywood. This revelation ought to prompt reflection among all, best wishes for future projects.”
