Creator & producer Raj said, “Finally, I got to make a Telugu film and I’m truly overwhelmed by the love and support it has received. I’m so grateful that audiences have embraced it as their own."

Producer Himank of Tralala Moving Pictures added: ₹100 crore for a woman-led film is a milestone for the industry. Maa Inti Bangaaram will be a movie that will be a case study in its making and exploitation for the industry."

He extended his deep sympathies to the families of the deceased. He said he would also be talking to the village elders to ensure the differently abled survivor from the affected family receives the necessary support, care and assistance.
