Confident of tasting success at the box office yet again, Puneeth is excited about the film’s release.

Speaking to the Times of India, Puneeth said that Raajakumara is a family entertainer that he is sure audiences will like. However, the star added that he feels like a student waiting for the results to be declared.

Puneeth also talked about collaborating for the first time with Tamil star R Sarathkumar, saying that he had always been in awe of Sarathkumar’s fitness, and revealing that he was constantly asking the older star for health tips. Sarath Kumar plays Puneeth’s father in the film.

Some fabulous films were made last year and I am sure that we will follow up with more this year as well.”
