"Inspired by Hitchcock movies, I did 'Anveshana', I watched his Psycho in Producer Edida Nageswara Rao’s PCR. I watched all of his 53 movies. My office walls are filled with his impressions. Pulagam Chinnarayana knew this. A movie needs 3 things, Script...Script...Script said Hitchcock once. Writing a book about such a legend is indeed a wonderful attempt. The Authors of the book Pulagam Chinnarayana and Ravi Padi are very close to me. I was thrilled by the first copy of this book" said Director Vamsy.

Director Vamsy says, "I'm very fond of Hitchcock. The thought of writing a book about his life and his works is wonderful. As far as I know, this is the first ever literary attempt ever done in an Indian language. The content looks amazing and I wish it should have a reprint very soon".

Director Harish Shankar says, "We're unlucky, we've seen Hitchcock's movies but not him. Luckily, we could see his impression in Telugu movies through Vamsy.

I feel blessed to receive the first copy of this book from him."
