He praised all the actors’ performance and concluded saying ‘Sir’ is a film for every parent and every student.
DOP Yuvraj said, “Audience received the movie emotionally. Dhanush lived in the character of Balu sir. Our director Venky got a distinction in the exam (the movie). I am happy that I worked with so many talented actors”.
Saikumar opened his speech with Gurubhyo Namahaa and praised the audience for making Sir a grand success. He said, “I got congratulatory messages from people around the world.

Samyuktha said a simple character like Meenakshi getting a great attention is something unexpected. She remarked, “People are calling me madam and the credit to our director Venky Atluri.

Samyuktha shared a story when an anchor previously questioned her choice about doing a teacher character in Sir. Now he might be lauding my choice.
Tanikella Bharani said about the changing perception of audience who is lauding the efforts of teachers in movies. He said, “I am really grateful to my teacher who taught me Telugu and that language became my livelihood. Venky poured his heart into the film and now it’s time to enjoy the film. Dhanush added life to Sir and the collective efforts of the entire team made Sir a grand success”.
