Speaking on the occasion after flagging off the competition, Mahesh Babu, actor, said: “Sitara's passion for dancing made us go to Dance India Dance Telugu. Being on stage with my daughter was very exciting, and the fact that this is our first appearance together on television made it all the more special and memorable. The show has been a revolution in different languages, and I am happy to see the Telugu version is bringing raw talent from humble backgrounds into the limelight. I must say that the participants are incredibly talented and hope they make the most of this opportunity to achieve their dreams and inch close to their ultimate dream.  I thank Zee Telugu for inviting us and wish the entire DID team the best.”

Mahesh Babu's daughter Sitara Ghattamaneni shared her views saying, “For the first time I was on stage and having Nanna by my side made it so easy and special. I absolutely love dancing & it was wonderful to watch the amazing participants on DID; it was also inspiring for me. I did something that I'm very excited about, and I can't wait for everyone to see it. I must thank Nanna for taking me to DID Telugu.”

Thanking Mahesh Babu for being on the show, Anuradha Gudur, Chief Content Officer, Zee Telugu, said: “We are very fortunate to have the competition of Dance India Dance Telugu flagged off by Superstar Mahesh Babu & his daughter Sitara. This is surely going to be remembered as one of the massive launches of any television show in recent times. The talent we have on DID Telugu is overwhelming, and we are confident that the show will continue to impress audience with incredible performances week-on-week. Mahesh Babu & Sitara's appearing together for the first time on TV is a massive boost for DID. Besides, seeing them in their element is a bigger treat for the fans and viewers alike.”
