Sanjay Dutt is excited about KD, whose release date will be announced soon. Remarking that the makers of the film are extremely passionate about cinema, he called KD a grand affair. The senior Bollywood actor commented that Dhruva is like a younger brother to him. He enjoyed working with Shilpa Shetty, his Bollywood colleague.

Dhruva Sarja, in his speech, raised a toast to the core technical talents behind KD. He also spoke of his admiration for Sanjay Dutt. "It’s always a pleasure working with talented actors like Shilpa Shetty, who even helps correct our performances on set. Reeshma is a very good actress," the budding hero said.

Director Prem recalled that his Kannada film Jogi was remade in Telugu as Yogi. He revealed that he has interacted with Chiranjeevi quite a few times. For many years, he refused to direct a straight Telugu film due to language barriers. He then spoke about the male protagonist in KD, saying that Kalidasa is emotional, something Dhruva has portrayed with finesse. "The film has already created a great deal of buzz. I believe everyone will love it," the filmmaker said. The director praised the Dutt-Shilpa Shetty duo's commitment.

Shilpa Shetty said that Satyavati is her name in the movie. She mentioned producer Venkat's passion for cinema. "Working with Dhruva and Reeshma was a joy. All my collaborations with Sanjay Dutt have resulted in BO hits. This film has all the commercial elements, and Prem has directed it with a lot of heart," she added.

Heroine Reeshma Nanaiah said that each character in KD is uniquely etched. Calling the project massive, she also suggested that the writing is fresh. Described Prem as her mentor. She further described Dutt as a wonderful person and Shilpa Shetty as someone who brought lots of positive vibes. Dhruva, she said, was an amazing co-star.

KVN Productions Business Head Suprith described the film's teaser as powerful. After holding events in Mumbai and Hyderabad, the team plans to host a slew of events, one each in Kochi, Bengaluru, and Chennai. He is confident that Dhruva will be a "phenomenal on screen".
