We all are waiting eagerly for the release of ‘Nadigaiyar Thilagam’ which is the biopic of legendary actress Savitri. However, the film’s Telugu version which is titled as ‘Mahanati’ has already released and has been receiving overwhelming reception.

SS Rajamouli took to his social page to give some sky high praise for Keerthy Suresh who essays the role of Savitri in the film. “Keerthy Suresh’s potrayal of Savitri garu is one of the finest performances I've ever seen. It is not just imitating. She brought the legendry actress back to life,” he said. 

In addition to this, Rajamouli also seemed very impressed with Dulquer Salman’s acting portraying Gemini Ganesan calling his performance ‘fantastic’. Well, if a filmmaker like Rajamouli is impressed, ‘Nadigaiyar Thilagam’ is a must watch.

Here’s the director’s tweet below:

. @KeerthyOfficial’s potrayal of Savitri garu is one of the finest performances I've ever seen. It is not just imitating. She brought the legendry actress back to life. @dulQuer is absolutely fantastic. I am his fan now.
