On stage, Hrithik went beyond the usual greetings, delivering an emotional tribute to his co-star. He spoke about the similarities in their careers, lauding Jr NTR’s unmatched dedication and calling him a 'one-take final-take star'. The Krrish actor also revealed that working with NTR taught him the importance of giving 100% to every shot, a lesson he intends to carry forward in all future projects.

“I see a lot of myself in Tarak. We have had very similar journeys for 25 years now, and I think Tarak sees a little bit of himself in me also. It is true when they say that he is a one-take final-take star," said Duggu.
