Mohan Babu described the leak as a 'grave sacrilege' and a 'shameful act of betrayal,' stressing that it undermines the hard work of countless technicians and artists involved in the film. Vishnu Manchu echoed these sentiments, calling the act a 'disgusting betrayal' and demanding that those responsible be 'hunted down and hung upside down.'
