Today, the pre-release event for Harikatha was held in Hyderabad, where several team members shared their thoughts. Writer Suresh Jai said, "I am thrilled that the idea which started in my mind a few years ago is now coming to life as the Harikatha series. I am grateful to Director Maggi and People Media Factpry for giving me this opportunity. I wrote this story with Rajendra Prasad in mind, and I believe the series will provide a unique experience for all viewers."
Executive Producer Shashikaran Narayana expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you to everyone who attended the Harikatha event today. We received the story two years ago and have worked on it with passion and dedication. We had the opportunity to collaborate with a fantastic team on this series. We look forward to showing you the fruits of our labor when Harikatha premieres on Disney Plus Hotstar on the 13th."
Music director Suresh Bobbili shared his excitement, saying, "I am happy to have had the chance to work on the Harikatha series. Maggie has done a wonderful job directing it. Among the web series I've seen recently, Harikatha stands out as a series of high standard and quality. Every scene has been beautifully crafted. I wish Harikatha great success."
DOP Vijay Ulaganath remarked, "This is my first web series, and I am proud to be a part of Harikatha. Our director Maggi will take the audience to a whole new world with this series. Each episode will leave a lasting impression, with both a strong beginning and a satisfying ending."
Editor Junaid Siddiqui said, "The Harikatha project from People Media Factory is fantastic. It will attract a larger audience to Hotstar. I’m especially happy to work with my favorite actor, Rajendra Prasad, on this series."
Actor MS Vikram expressed, "Thank you to everyone who joined us at the pre-release event today. We created the Harikatha web series with a solid script, and since it is a story about God, we have complete faith in it. I am confident that Harikatha will captivate all of you. Be sure to watch it on Disney Plus Hotstar on the 13th."
Actor Gagan Vihari commented, "It seemed that no one else but Rajendra Prasad could portray the lead role in Harikatha. His experience, understanding of mythology, and mastery of dialect made him the perfect fit for this role. Be sure to watch Harikatha on Hotstar."
Actress Usha Sri shared, "I play the character of Eeramma in the Harikatha series. My portrayal of Eeramma will look very different on screen. I am grateful for the opportunity to act in this series. Thanks to Hotstar and Director Maggie. I believe all our characters will be remembered by the audience."
Rajendra Prasad said, "I have been an actor for 48 years in the film industry, and it's not common to continue as an actor for such a long time. I have worked with many heroes and am still acting with heroes of this generation. As an actor, I feel fortunate to still receive great scripts like Harikatha. After watching this series, people have asked why it wasn't released in theaters. Today, the movie has come home from the theater. In that case, the content should be strong, and we are presenting such strong content in Harikatha. I would like to thank the writers, director Maggie, People Media, and Hotstar for giving me this opportunity. I am happy to take on a role akin to that of ANR and NTR. In Harikatha, I will be seen as Rangachari, a character who tells Harikathas and chants the name of Hari throughout his life. Actors Sriram, Divi, and everyone else performed excellently. The entire Harikatha team worked with passion, and I am sure you will all love the series."
Producer TG Vishwaprasad said, "Harikatha is the second web series from our People Media company. Shashi brought this script to us, and since then, she has been pushing this project forward. This script could easily be made into a movie. Harikatha will set a new standard for Telugu web series. I am thrilled that this series is coming to you through Hotstar, and I am confident everyone will enjoy it. We believe it will reach audiences not only in Telugu but in every language."
Director Maggi said: "What producer Vishwaprasad told me during the discussions for Harikatha was that if you are given a wonderful script and an actor like Rajendra Prasad, you have to deliver an equally remarkable output. No budget restrictions were placed, and the CG work was done with great quality. I would like to thank Vishwaprasad garu for his support. This is a very diverse and grand script. It’s not just because of me as the director that this story has become a perfect web series; everyone in my team worked with immense passion to make it successful. I am thankful to everyone involved. After Rajendra Prasad garu, Sriram garu is my favorite actor, and I am happy to have worked with him. Harikatha will be remembered forever."
Actress Divi sai, "I am very happy to have had the opportunity to act in Harikatha. I played the character Chamanti in this series. People Media Factory is one of my favorite production houses, and I am thrilled to have worked with them and been associated with Hotstar. Harikatha has given us many wonderful memories. Be sure to watch our series on Hotstar on the 13th of this month."
Hero Sriram said, "Getting the opportunity to act in a great series like Harikatha feels like a blessing for actors like us. People Media Factory is truly a powerhouse, and they continuously produce fantastic projects. Harikatha is one of their big projects. People Media and Hotstar bring in excellent scripts and projects, like pearls from the sea. The characters I played in Harikatha - Rangachari, Chamanti, and Eeramma - will be remembered by the audience. Harikatha has layers of devotional, action, crime, and drama, which will connect with every viewer. Thanks to all our technical team. Harikatha will remain in the hearts of the audience."
