At the Brahma Anandam pre-release event, Chiranjeevi expressed disappointment over not having a grandson to carry forward his legacy. He mentioned that being at home felt like being a warden in a ladies' hostel, surrounded by women. He shared that he had encouraged his son, Ram Charan, to have a son this time, as his daughter was already the apple of his eye. However, he admitted feeling worried that they might have another girl

Despite his comments, Chiranjeevi had previously shown deep affection for his granddaughter. He had announced her birth in 2023, revealing her name as Klin Kaara Konidela, inspired by the Lalitha Sahasranamam, which signifies transformative and purifying energy. Meanwhile, on the professional front, he was last seen in Waltair Veerayya and Bhola Shankar, and he is set to appear in Vishwambhara and an upcoming project directed by Srikanth Odela
