Mahesh Babu: “Pongal this year comes to us with mixed feelings. While we’re very happy about the opening of my new film Sarileru Neekevvaru, there has been a death of someone very close in the family. So we are not really in a festive mood this year for Pongal. But we wish everyone out there a Happy Pongal.”
Vishal Krishna: “I’ve just returned from New York after a New Year’s break. Now I’m back to work. We start the final schedule of Chakra on Pongal day. For me, work is the most enjoyable and fulfilling celebration.”
Khushboo Sundar: “I am celebrating Pongal with my family, as I do every year. We celebrate this festival in different parts of this country with different names. This shows whatever faith and beliefs we have, this country is united. We the people of this country in the Preamble of our constitution is truly secular.”
Adivi Shesh: “I am prepping for the last schedule of underproduction film Major. This is the first Sankranti that I am spending in a long time with my parents. Makes me really thankful. Any festive occasion without the family is meaningless.”
