In a conversation with a leading Indian entertainment publication, Prem Rakshith said he went blank. He said, "It felt like it was not possible. It actually happened because of Rajamouli sir’s hard work. I am so happy. It happened because of the two heroes, NTR Jr and Ram Charan, who are so good as dancers. Keeravani sir’s music has taken off all the weight."

Further, calling Ram Charan and NTR Jr as lion and cheetah, Prem Rakshith revealed that his main concern was to match their style with as many as 118 unique steps. Shedding more light on the same, Prem said, "They are both good dancers. But, the difficult thing was their style. They both had to be synchronized. I did not know how to do that. We developed it all from zero. They have to match. That means I have to give something new, which is perfect for both of them. I can not give steps that only Charan sir would dance to and Tarak sir would not."
