The success meet of Lakshmi was held at Ramanaidu studios on 24th Jan, and was attended by Venkatesh, Charmi, V.V. Vinayak, Ramana Gogula, Nallamalupu Bujji, Chalapati Rao, Akula Siva, Stun Siva, L.B. Sriram, Sharwanand and Madhusudhan Reddy.
Director V.V. Vinayak said, "Because of Venkatesh, there was a huge turnout of ladies on the first day of the film release. Initially we were apprehensive about the title since it is a women's name, But Venkatesh welcomed the title wholeheartedly. In order to clarify it as hero's film, we kept the tagline of the film as 'The Powerful Man'. I am happy to say that the first week's collection was 9 crores ".
"When the title it self was announced, I had a strong feeling that this film would be a block buster. Ramana Gogula promised that he would deliver blockbuster music for Lakshmi and he lived up to his word. The music of the film is wonderful. He kept his word by giving wonderful music. People complimented me by saying that I looked good in this movie. The entire credit for that goes to cinematographer Chota. K. Naidu. The introduction fight composed by Siva was also very good. I liked the way my character has shaped out in this film. V.V. Vinayak is very clear about what he wants" hero Venkatesh said, complimenting almost on the entire team of the film.
Cinematographer Chota. K. Naidu also had his share to add "This is my 3rd consecutive film with V.V. Vinayak and it's a hattrick. He told me in advance that this film was going to become a big hit. I am happy that I gave good visuals for the film that matches with the music of Ramana Gogula. Producer Nallamalupu Bujji was quite liberal with the film's budget. I feel that introduction of Venkatesh in this film is as good as his introduction scene in Bobbili Raja film. Heroine Charmi is so good that she could become the next Soundarya of Telugu film industry.
The other star cast also expressed their happiness about the film's success.
