Director Jeethu Joseph said, " In 2014 'Drusyam' Telugu remake became a big success. I wished to do a film in Telugu. I am happy to become a part of the Telugu Film Industry with 'Donga'. This film is very close to my heart. A very good cast and crew worked for this film. I can't forget My hero, Friend Karthi's support throughout this journey. Jyotika, Sathya Raj, Nikhila Vimal, Prasanna ... everyone did great in this film. 'Donga' is a clean family entertainer with humor, action, and emotions. The film has shaped very well and I can assure you that you will love this film."
Heroine Nikhila Vimal said, " This is my fifth film in Tamil and third film in Telugu. I am very happy to get this opportunity to work with Karthi garu, Sathya Raj sir and Jyotika garu. Jeethu sir is a very big director. I am very happy to do this film in his direction. Thanks to him and the producers for this opportunity."
Senior Actor Sathya Raj said, " 'Donga' has a very different storyline. My character is very emotional with a unique touch. My character will generate curiosity throughout the film whether he is good or bad. I am happy working with Karthi, Jyotika, Nikhila. I believe 'Donga' will become a bigger hit than 'Drusyam'. All the best to the entire team."
Dialogue Writer Hanuman Chowdary said, " You can see how it will be if good content is backed with a bunch of talented people with 'Donga'. RD Rajasekhar gari cinematography, Govind Vasantha gari Music, Ramajogayya Sastry gari lyrics are too good. Jeethu Joseph garu has earned fans India wide with his film 'Drusyam'. Sowcar Janaki garu competed with Karthi garu with her expressions though she has a single dialogue in the film. Nikhila garu did a very good role. Can't say how good Sathra Raj gari's performance is in this film. Everyone will talk about him after the film's release. Jyotika gari's character will be like how it will be if a Principal is our sister. Karthi garu will steal everyone's hearts with 'Donga'. Thanks to the producers for this opportunity."
Senior Director Siva Nageswara Rao said, " Karthi gari's performance in 'Oopiri' is fantastic. Jeethu garu is the most brilliant director. Karthi garu is like one in a million. He won the Filmfare award three times as the Best Actor. I wish this film to become a bigger hit than 'Khaidi'."
Producer Ravuri V Srinivas's close associates Chakravarthy, Venkat said, " Karthi garu is on a roll attaining stardom with 'Khaidi' after 'Oopiri'. It's very tough to impress the audience of two languages. Only few heroes have achieved that. Karthi garu and Suriya garu stand among them. Our brother Srinivas is very passionate about education and cinema. That's why he is delivering very good films in Telugu. Chiranjeevi gari 'Donga' was a big hit back then. We wish Karthi gari 'Donga' will become a much bigger blockbuster hit."
Angry Hero Karthi said, " Everyone is asking how come 'Donga' after 'Khaidi', It should be vice-versa. But, it happened like that. Both of them were the titles of Chiranjeevi gari Big Hit films. How we have selected the title 'Khaidi' as per the script, similarly we opted for 'Donga' title for this film following the script. I was thrilled while listening to this story. Especially the relation between Sister and Brother is very interesting and emotional. Sathya Raj garu did the role of our father in the film. These three characters are the pillars in 'Donga'. When we came to know that a strong director like Jeethu Joseph who has made a film like 'Drusyam', our confidence got doubled. Sathyaraj garu while dubbing for this film, he said that this is like 'Drusyam 2'. 'Donga' is a beautiful family entertainer. Sowcar Janaki garu, Seetha gari characters too play a crucial role in the film. '96' fame Govind Vasantha has composed beautiful music and a terrific background score for this film. You will surely love this film. Seenu's role in 'Oopiri' is very special for me. Whenever I go to any airport, People in a wheelchair recognize me and asks me to take a picture with them. 'Donga' will be like a fusion of 'Naa Peru Siva' and 'Oopiri', a very different film yet a beautiful family entertainer with all kinds of emotions. I feel very emotional about it. 'Donga' is a holiday movie you can enjoy watching it in theatres with your family for this Christmas and New Year."
