Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared that she had become dependent on Chaitanya. She added that it took the actor eight years to come in the same space as her, as she had liked him before, but he wasn't in the same place. Samantha could be quoted as saying:
"He knew I liked him. I became very dependant on him. So, it took eight years to come on the same space because I really liked him and he was not in that space. There were times when we wanted to work it out, but there were many factors. It took a long time for us to be in the same space."
