This journey has been very good. This journey has also been a bit lonely, I have had to go through a lot to reach where I am today. Whatever is shown in the film, I will try to keep working like this for the next 40 years so that I can reach where I want to reach.”
Talking about the film, the film's director Tushar Hiranandani said, “Whatever I write, I write with a lot of heart. When I met Shrikant and Dadiya, I got a lot of inspiration from them. There is a lot of masala in our picture also. Everyone will have a lot of fun watching the film.”

In response to this, Aamir says, “The day this song was released, this song became ours. When I saw the trailer of Srikanth, I was so amused that I immediately connected with Srikanth's character. I also want to experience his journey, so I am eagerly waiting for the release of the film. Rajkumar has done a very good job in the film, looking at him it seems that he has lived the character of Srikanth very well.”
The film's producer Nidhi, in response to a question asked by Aamir Khan, said, “This song will remain for Aamir sir and Udit sir only. We are just giving this generation the gift they gave us.”
Talking about the song, the film's hero Rajkumar Rao said, “This is the song when I used to go to Delhi to do theater after passing class 12th. At that time, I used to go from Gurgaon to Delhi by bicycle, so I used to listen to some songs on my Walkman. And one of the songs that always hit me was the song “Papa Kehte Hain.” I used to listen to that song to motivate myself. From that time till now when this song was filmed on me in the film 'Srikanth'. This is a very unique experience. We all have taken inspiration from Aamir, sir. And it is because of his greatness that he has come here today for a song launch.”

When Rajkumar Rao was asked whether another National Award was coming, to which Rajkumar jokingly said, “It would be good if it comes. Then we will throw a party for everyone.”
Talking about the film, the film's heroine Alaya F said, “I remember, when I met Tushar sir and I heard the story of this film, I told him that it does not matter to me whether my role is in this film. No matter how big or small I am, I just want to be a part of this film. I am proud of myself that I am a part of such an inspiring story. A story that shows the beautiful story of Srikant's life. I have met Swati and we have talked a lot. My character is not completely based on her but I am playing the character of Swati.”
On this occasion, the film's director Tushar Hiranandani gave good news. He said that Shrikant Bolla had become a father last month and he has named his daughter Naina.
Talking about the film, Sharad Kelkar said, “I would say that we will not talk about the film, this film will speak for itself when it is released. This song “Papa Kehte Hain”, this song has inspired all of us. Today, when I am standing here with Aamir sir, I feel that I have made my name proud, Papa.”

When the film's producer Nidhi was asked that even before the release of the film, the trailer was getting personal responses from people. In response to this, Nidhi says, “Every person associated with the film has made this film with a lot of hard work and love. Our effort was to make Srikant's story with utmost honesty. Everyone will be inspired by his story. I am very thankful to God that people can connect with this film. This also increases the responsibility that people should like the film equally and if this happens then it will be icing on the cake. I hope people will like the film.”

When Rajkumar Rao, who is playing the role of Srikanth Bolla in this film, was asked about this character and the challenge he faced to play it, Rajkumar said, “I keep looking for inspirational things in life. When Tushar told me about Srikanth, I also did not know about him. When I heard his story, I felt very inspired by it. I spent a lot of time with Srikanth because I had to play his role on screen. I also made their videos and then I used to watch them at home and try to understand them. One thing I understood after spending time with him is that whenever we think of a disabled person, we feel consoled for him but when I spent time with Srikant, I understood how cool he is. Are human beings. Srikanth is very confident, he is witty. He has achieved so much in life and he inspires me a lot. I knew that I would have a lot of fun playing his character. I enjoyed being a part of this story.”
