Opening Ceremony at Ramoji Film City

He directed it.

I still remember that day vividly.

I had to wake up at dawn

and go to the Ramoji Film City opening.

Mom said she wouldn't come because she had never gone out before.

Mom said she wouldn't come.

My father, too,

said we should stand on our own feet, so he didn't come either.

“You go yourself.

You fall on your own, you get up yourself, you rise on your own.

You do everything yourself,” my father said,

so he didn't come either.

I went to that opening all alone.

There was no one there.

For some reason, that day,

I felt a little sad.

Why did I go all alone? There was no one!

There wasn't even a single family member to hold me

and bless me.

I felt sad that there was no one to encourage me.

After that,

perhaps God heard me.

Perhaps nature heard me.

It brought all of you to me.

All your love, all your admiration,

all your affection, it made all of you stand by me like a backbone.

That God made it happen.

Maybe he thought it wasn't enough?

As I said earlier, you are my strength, the family God gave me.

My Jakkanna, my Keeravani garu's family.

2001, I said it earlier, right? So many firsts happened.

So many firsts happened.

Again, our first.

Not a single day, after the film Studio Number One became a success, then…

Whether it was the first anniversary, the second anniversary, or ten years,

or 15 years, never once did we celebrate.

Today, for the very first time, my whole family and I are standing with my

Jakkanna.

We are happily celebrating 25 years of Studio Number One today,

this celebration, this Don't Trouble the Trouble Stage…
