The portions with Sreeleela and Kireeti aren't as impactful as expected in the first half. Songs are enjoyable, and @ThisIsDSP's BGM is on fire. My Rating – 4/5." #Junior first half is decent! @KireetiOfficial impresses with his intro, dance, and overall performance 🔥.

Limited screen time for Sreeleela On the other hand, several reviews noted that Sreeleela does not get enough scope to shine, especially in the second half where her character almost disappears, resurfacing only in a dream sequence to justify a song sequence. Meanwhile, Kireeti has made a mark on the film with his charming and confident debut, compelling screen presence, and impressive dance sequences.

Radhakrishna Reddy: Junior was like my graduation, I hope I pass with distinction
'Working with them was like attending a full-time film school. They're not just technicians, they're passionate artists. Even for a small shot, they give it their all. Their commitment left an impression,' says the director. Speaking about cinematographer Senthil Kumar, he adds, 'He's what I call a director's technician. His approach is simple: the director is right, and the team aligns with that vision. That kind of trust builds magic on set." On newcomer Kireeti Reddy, the director insists he is anything but typical. 'He has rare clarity for his age. If the benchmark is 100, he starts from there. His hard work is inspiring and I've seen it firsthand,' says Radhakrishna. He then recounts a defining moment during an action sequence choreographed by Peter Hein. 'Kireeti insisted on doing the stunt himself. Peter was hesitant, but Kireeti didn't want to fake it. Unfortunately, he got injured and had to rest for six months. That wasn't just bravery; it showed respect for the audience.' Even in the hit dance number 'Viral Vayyari', opposite Sreeleela, Kireeti shines. 'He doesn't just match her energy; he brings his own charm. Honestly, once people see the film, they'll find it hard to believe this is his debut. It's one of the strongest first-time performances in recent times.'

63-year-old Shiva Rajkumar upstages young Kireeti, Sreeleela with his dance. Watch
Radhakrishna Reddy's Kireeti Reddy, Sreeleela and Genelia D'Souza-starrer Junior will be released in theatres on 18 July. The pre-release event of the film was held in Bengaluru with Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar as the chief guest. When the actor took to the stage to dance with the lead stars, he managed to upstage them with ease. Shiva Rajkumar followed Kireeti's steps as they danced with Sreeleela on stage at Junior event. Shiva Rajkumar upstages Kireeti, Sreeleela A song from Junior titled Viral Vayyari shows Kireeti and Sreeleela dancing energetically. The actors recreated the hook step from the song on stage and were joined by Shiva, who was aping Kireeti's moves. While initially looking hesitant to join in, the star seemed to have found his groove as he continued to dance even after Kireeti and Sreeleela stopped dancing, leading them to cheer for him. Even the anchor at the event couldn't help but let out a cheer. Fans also seemed to think that the 63-year-old didn't just match the energy of the actors in their early 20s, he upstaged them. One of them commented, 'Kannada swag + Viral vibes = Explosion on stage! Shivanna still got the moves.' Another wrote, 'Wow. Shivarajkumar is evergreen Hero.' A fan recollected that Shiva was always a good dancer, 'Shiva Rajkumar was always a great dancer, love you sir!' Shiva Rajkumar's health issues In November last year, after weeks of speculation, Shiva confirmed to fans that he's receiving treatment for an issue he didn't specify then. In December the same year, he flew to the US to have a cancerous bladder removed. He returned to India in 2025 and, to the relief of fans, declared that he was now cancer-free. This did not stop him from working, as before heading to the US, he completed shooting for 45 while undergoing chemotherapy. Shiva will soon star in Buchi Babu Sana's Peddi with Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor as his co-stars. Apart from 45, he will soon also star in the Kannada films Uttarakaanda and Bhairavana Kone Paata. He will also reprise his role for Nelson Dilipkumar's Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2.
