According to a report on Times Of India, actor Ramesh Aravind said, “This was my fourth time at the reunion. Chiranjeevi was a great host. Everything from the setting, the food, and the mood was upbeat. Nagarjuna and Amala were the new entrants to our group this year. Though everyone is a big star, it is so much fun coming together like this and partying like high school buddies. Kush, Suhasini, and Lissy plan this every year and work out several logistics. It feels great to have connected with the stars.”
Meanwhile, actor-director Prathap Pothen who was also an integral part of the ’80s has expressed his regret on not being invited for the reunion.
