Manoj Desai, executive director of G7 multiplex added, “I wasn’t aware of his visit. Being a Sunday, I was not present when Ram Charan visited our theatre. My employees told me about his visit once he reached. He didn’t ask for any kind of VIP treatment and calmly sat in a corner and watched the film just like any other person. Later, I saw the photographs outside where he was mobbed the people present there. This craze was no less than any Bollywood actor.”
