Addressing the audience, Alia spoke in Telugu and also praised her colleage Samantha for being a hero on and off-screen. She said, “I have so much admiration for your talent, for your resilience, for your strength. It's not easy to be a woman in a man's world, but you have surpassed gender. You stand tall on your two feet, and you have your talent, and your strong kicks to be an example for everyone.”

She also shared how Samantha took just 6.5 seconds to say “I will be there” when Alia invited her to attend the pre-release event. During her speech, the Gangubai Kathiawadi actress  also requested Pushpa director Trivikram to cast them together.

She said, "And over here on this stage, not doing this for promotion, I genuinely mean it. Trivikram sir I think Samantha and I should be in a film written and directed by you. They say usually actresses compete with each other and all of that. But there's no such thing. I am so, so grateful that today I have a pan India superstar here to support my film and say such kind words for my film”.
