Is Krish a mini-Rajamouli? That seems to be the case. After the technically and aesthetically superb 'Kanche', he has pulled off the significantly war historical 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' in a relatively short time.

Not for nothing that even Rajamouli is bowled over. "What you achieved in eight months or so is absolutely mind boggling @DirKrish.. Hats off," the 'Baahubali' maker has tweeted.

"I bow to @DirKrish for taking Telugu cinema once again to the next level," Ram Gopal Varma has said.

Music director Thaman, too, has expressed surprise that such a film was shot in eight months.

What you achieved in 8 months or so is absolutely mind boggling @DirKrish.. Hats off...
