Raghu Dixit
Ede Thumbi Haaduvenu is a cult show because of the late SP Balasubrahmanyam. I decided to be a part of the show as it is not only entertaining, but informative as well. SPB used to run the show single-handedly, from hosting and judging to mentoring the contestants.

V Harikrishna
Though, SPB is no more, the show will continue under his guiding light. Ede Thumbi Haaduvenu is not just a show; it’s an emotion for the people of Karnataka. I am looking forward to an exciting show which is hugely popular because of the impact created by SPB.

Rajesh Krishnan
It is a privilege to be part of Ede Thumbi Haaduvenu which struck a chord with viewers because of SPB’s simplicity and the way he used to speak to contestants, motivating them to fine-tune their singing prowess.
