We confidently assure viewers that this movie will not disappoint,” he said. Producers Manjunath Vishwakarma and Kiran Bharthur also expressed their gratitude, seeking support from both the media and the audience.
“Not many people know my name,” said Gurunandan, noting that “First Rank Raju” is recognized everywhere he goes. He shared that the director of Raju James Bond has broken away from previous genres, encouraging him to dance and perform stunts. The producers have created the movie with no compromises. Gurunandan urged fans to continue the support they’ve shown since the days of First Rank Raju.
