Dattanna also expressed his happiness at the positive reception of the film, acknowledging its unique concept and message. He commended the director's ability to execute a difficult film and praised Jaggesh for his ability to carry the film on his shoulders.
Shwetha Srivatsava, for whom Raghavendra Stores is a comeback film, said it is a turning point in his career, "I am proud to have been a part of such a good film and sharing screen space with Jaggesh."
Santhosh Ananddram, who directed the movie, also gave credit to Vijay Kirgandur's expertise in gauging audience preferences and also noted that the film's success had been driven mainly by word of mouth.
