Responding to this, Suman clarified that Chiranjeevi never said such a thing to him, and he never considered himself a competitor to Chiranjeevi. He explained that he unintentionally became a competitor to Chiranjeevi. During that time, NTR became the Chief Minister, and Chiranjeevi was on the rise, excelling in fights and acting. This brought Chiranjeevi a good reputation as a new-age hero.

Suman added that he was also doing fights and acting alongside Chiranjeevi, but Chiranjeevi was a good dancer, which attracted the audience. He acknowledged that there might be many dancers now, but Chiranjeevi is the only one who can dance without looking at the floor.

Suman revealed that some of his films competed with Chiranjeevi's films in terms of collections, but he never saw it as a competition. He emphasized that entering the film industry was a great thing, and achieving so much was even greater.
