It was Koti, who recognized the talent in me. I will never forget my association with Koti and all other music directors here. I always cherished special relationship with Mano. I wish the team of Sombheri a grand success." Mano rendered a song from the album much to the amusement of the gathering. Producer Venkatrao thanked Rahman and other prominent music directors for gracing the occasion. Director Jonnavittula said: "Sombheri is about the exploits of a lazy fellow in the film. While he remains lazy in the first half, he remains so energetic in the second half and gets into the topnotch position. The highlight of the film is that it was extensively shot in Srikakulam, Muvva and Koochipudi, which represent the 2000 years of Telugu culture, and which fact is lesser known to the Telugus themselves even this day. A special sequence was shot in Dubai with all relevance to the sufferings of those who reach out there in search of livelihood only to end up in starvation under hot sun with scorching temperatures running up to 53 degrees Celsius." Hero Ali said: "AR Rehman's music is like a ripened fruit which is tasted by a squirrel or parrot. I did taste such a fruit in my life. I am lucky to have AR Rehman here to launch the audio of my film. I can never forget the patronage I received from directors Koti, Manisharma, Devi Sri Prasad and director Jonnavittula. I am sure; this film will give extraordinary entertainment to one and all."
