Heaping praise on Das ka Dhamki, Balakrishna said that such films are not meant to be watched at home. "I too wanted to direct, but my film Narthanasala got shelved. Due to some reasons, I didn't make another attempt to direct a film. However, I'm planning to do Aditya 999 next year. My heartfelt wishes to the whole team of Das Ka Dhamki."

He then wished good luck to Vishwak and the Das Ka Dhamki team and added, "My best wishes to Vishwak and the team. The trailer looks very interesting and it's a feast for the eyes."

"I don't get it how Vishwak balances so many things. He is very passionate about films. Many trolled me on social media when I said there's a difference between passion for cinema and mad for cinema," he said.

Aditya 369 was directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao and is considered a landmark film in the science fiction genre in Telugu cinema. Balakrishna has a dual role in the film, which also features Mohini, Amrish Puri, and Tinu Anand in pivotal roles.
