Speaking during the occasion, 'I normally hesitate from these kind of functions. But when Sa Ra Govindu on behalf of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce called me for honouring, I obliged because I share a special relation with the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and that's why I am here' said Dr Baraguru Ramachandrappa.

'I have been watching Dr Rajakumar's and Akkineni Nageshwara Rao's films from a very young age and they are inspiration for me. That's why I decided to direct films with good content' said Dr Baraguru Ramachandrappa.
