The audio is releasing today. Nitin Baba is the music director. A press meet was held at the office of Shreya Productions today. Hero Jagapati Babu, JD Chakravarty, Sakshi Sivanand (who did the item song) and producer Kiran Kumar spoke on this occasion.

JD Chakravarty: I know Jagapati Babu personally ever since I did his film Gayam, as an assistant director. I narrated the story of Homam to Jagapati Babu in just six minutes. Though he was reluctant to work with me initially, later he accepted the project and gave wonderful performance. The producer is a good friend of mine for the last 18 years. He extended the best of his cooperation, without which it would never have been possible to finish the movie successfully.”

Hero Jagapati Babu said: “I am doing the role of a police officer who is hand in glove with the mafia groups. I am thankful to one and all for their concerted efforts. When I heard the subject, I didn’t know that it was Chakri who would be directing it. When I came to know about this, I told him directly that working with him might lead to problems in future. Several people informed me that Chakri was arrogant. But, all of them proved wrong. He was a professional and knows his limitations and requirements. Chakri also has a superb musical sense. Sakshi’s performance as an item girl and Mamta’s role as heroine have come out well.”

Actress Sakshi Sivanand said: “I am happy to be working in Telugu film industry after a long gap. I wish my Telugu audiences a Very Happy Ugadi.”

Producer Kiran Kumar said: “I have been waiting for the opportunity to do a film with Chakri. I know his dedication and workaholic nature. The film is going to give full meals treatment to the audiences, with its full commercial elements.”

Highlight of Homam is that it is an action film with a lot of emotion. Dialogues are by Kona Venkat. Lyrics are by Suddala Ashok Teja. Bharani K. Dharan is the cinematographer.
