He praised the initiative to present such a work in Telugu, stating, “I watched several of Hitchcock’s films during my collegiate years. I would like to read this book during my leisure time in the next ten to fifteen days. It is noteworthy to observe a publication concerning a cinematic icon such as Hitchcock in Telugu. Pulagam Chinnarayana and Ravi Padi ought to persist in their endeavors to present such invaluable works to readers.”

Esteemed novelist Malladi Venkata Krishnamurthy and acclaimed filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma both provided forewords for the book.
