V.B.Rajendra Prasad launched the audio of Kathanayakudu while K.Balachander released the audio of Kuchelan (Tamil version).

Talking about the audio and the film, Rajani Kanth said, ‘Aswini Dutt is one producer who does not know the word compromise. You ask him for something, he will arrange it in seconds. For example, if you ask him for Sri Lanka, he would immediately try and will come back with an answer saying we will bring it as soon as the LTTE problem is cleared. This film is based on Malayalam film Katha Parayampol. I followed the advice of my guru Balachander to not miss any good subject that comes my way. As soon as P.Vasu made me watch the film, I decided I will do it. The film is wrapped up in 83 days for both Telugu and Tamil languages. It is because of P.Vasu, the film is wrapped up so quickly. He not only is the director of the film but supervised all departments including production’.

Talking about the music, Rajani Kanth added, ‘G.V.Prakash is talented. I would say Prakash is a combination of Ilayaraja and Rehman’.

Rajani Kanth further added that he is now taking good care of his health. In fact, he is following a strict diet by avoiding rice, sugar, salt, tablets, ghee etc. And then he announced that he would give out part of his remuneration for every film to the technicians who worked for the film. And this trend he is starting with Kathanayakudu.

Jagapati Babu started his talk with rhyming words. He said. ‘Telugu lo Jagapati, Tamil lo Pasupati. Iddharilonu Dalapati paina Sabhapati. Producer karodpathi. Prekashakulaku idhi oka andhamaina bahumathi’. He further added, ‘This is a wonderful and unique experience for me. The very first shot we acted together is a scene where he had to slap me. He really slapped me and I felt a kind of affectionate touch. This will remain as a sweet memory in my life. I sincerely thank Aswini Dutt who gave me Subhalagnam earlier and now Kathanayakudu’.

P.Vasu also announced that he is giving part of his remuneration to the technicians in the film. He went ahead and announced that Aswini Dutt, Vijay Kumar and Pushpa kandaswami will also donate give their share to the technicians. P.Vasu said that the film has a very strong story and is very inspiring.

Aswini Dutt said that his dream of producing a film with Rajani Kanth is fulfilled. Kathanayakudu is a film on friendship. Emphasizing this in the event, K.Balachander gave out the first CD to his friend Bharati Raja while Rajani Kanth gave the first CD to his friend Murali. Jagapati Babu called his friend Arjun and gave him a copy of the CD.

Makers are planning to release the film in the last week of July.
