Audio function of 'Sri Anjaneyam' was held in a unique style at a function organized at the lawns of Taj Krishna on the night of 14th May 2004. The saffron colored welcome door is scripted with 'Hanuman Chalisa'. When you climb down the stairs, you have beautiful saree-clad women holding turmeric (pasupu) and kunkuma to invite women attending the function with Andhra-style welcome. We have saffron clad pundits roaming around with chanting of mantra. On the stage, we have the posters of Sri Anjaneyam that feature Mani Sharma, Veturi and Sirivennela. The backlit vinyl hoardings are splashed all over the place with big photos of heroes of the night - Mani Sharma, Veturi and Sirivennela. It is nice to see Krishna Vamsi is giving due credit to the backbone of music and songs of the film such a great tribute by featuring their photographs. A big idol of Lord Hanuman colored in green is the center of attraction of function. The who and who of Telugu film industry graced this occasion and made it a roaring success.

Ramya Krishna started the event by giving introduction and inviting hero Nitin, heroine Charmi, music director Mani Sharma and lyricist Sirivennela Seetarama Sastri. Speaking on this occasion director Krishna Vamsi said that when nobody was coming forward to buy the audio of Sri Anjaneyam at satisfactory prices, Maruthi Music has offered fantastic amount and agreed to give the overflows as well if the audio sales are excellent. If nobody bought the audio rights at the price Krishna Vamsi quoted, he thought of releasing audio on his own and bundle the audio cassettes with the prints and send them to the cinema halls directly. Krishna Vamsi is in all praises for the lyrics written by Sirivennela. Sirivennela penned lyrics for 5 songs in this film. When Sirivennela fell sick, Krishna Vamsi had to approach Veturi to pen the first song of the film. Krishna Vamsi said that he has seen 5-6 reels of Sri Anjaneyam after background music is scored. He opined that background music of this film is fantastic and better than the background music of any of the 10 films he made so far (barring Ilayaraja's background music in Anthahpuram).

Lyricist Sirivennela Seetarama Sastry said that Krishna Vamsi's brilliancy lies in telling intellectual and spiritual story with out disturbing the regular commercial format. He also praised the ability of Krishna Vamsi in telling difficult things in a simple style. Sirivennela felt that the theme of the film is 'if a man can control his heart and mind, he can become Lord Anjaneya'. He said that 'Tikamaka Makatika' song has given immense job satisfaction. He is also in praises for the srungara song in this film. He said that Ramathathvam, Ravana Kaastam and Anjaneya Tatvam are present in all sections of society in this world. And this film explores the Anjaneya Tatvam. He is also in praise for the histrionics of Nitin who played the role of 'Anji' in 'Sri Anjaneyam'.

Pramod - who entered in to the world of music distribution with Sri Anjaneyam - said that his father has Hindi film distribution agency Maruthi Movies in Nizam area. When Hindi films were doing badly, they have chosen to enter the Telugu Film distribution and started it with Family Circus. They had hit films like Okkadu, Vasantham, Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammai, Varsham and Satyam to their credit. They would be releasing Shankar Dada and Adavi Ramudu in the days to come. Pramod thanked Krishna Vamsi for entrusting his faith on them.

Sirivennela and Mani Sharma release the audio and distributed cassettes to the guests on the stage.
