As the film became a OTT success with over 56 lakhs watch minutes, speaking on this occasion, producer, Mahendranath Kondla said, “Viraji movie had a theatrical release on August 2, 2024. However, as there were several movies released on that day, our movie could not reach as much as we expected. That's why we wanted to bring it into OTT. Now, the film is being viewed successfully and its trending, so far our film has watched more than 56 lakhs watch minutes. Our movie is streaming on Aha. We hope that our movie will reach even more people through Aha. Hero Varun Sandesh has been very supportive of the movie Viraji. He is someone without an iota of attitude.

Actor Kakinada Nani speaking at the pressmeet expressed his gratitude to the director and producer for the opportunity in the movie. He further said, “Varun Sandesh worked very hard for this movie.

Director, Adyanth Harsha made the movie Viraji with a great script, which would be liked by all. However, we could not get that kind of response on its theatrical release and also not many theaters were available as there were several other movies releasing.”
