‘Mahanati’ team including Nag Ashwin, Keerthy Suresh etc went to Australia. “An absolute honour to share the frame with the glorious team of #Mahanati in Australia, at the #IFFM after party… The film won a prestigious award at #IFFM2018 this evening.” Tweeted Taran Adarsh with a picture of him with the ‘Mahanati’ team. Keerthy Suresh and Dulquer Salman played the leads in the film with Samantha Akkineni and Vijay Deverakonda in the supporting roles.

Mahanati has become a big hit in the recent times. The movie is declared a hit in terms of the talk as well as box office revenues. The biopic based on the life of the legendary actress Savitri paved a way for the birth of more biopics.

Keerthy Suresh who played Savitri and Dulquer Salmaan who played Gemini Ganesan have received appreciations for their performances. The film also stars Samantha in a crucial role. The surprising news is that the movie was nominated at a prestigious film festival. Keethy Suresh was nominated for Best Actress and Samantha was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at Indian Film Festival Melbourne.

Directed by Nag Ashwin, Mahanati is produced by Vyjayanthi movies banner.

Keerthy Suresh is the popular actress who entered the top league of heroines in South India. The success of Mahanati made her a star heroine. She is being flooded with a lot of offers right now. But, the actress is still grounded and said that she still does not achieve the star status.

“I don’t think that I achieved the star status with just one or two movies. There is a long way to go for me. It sounds good when someone calls us a star but it comes with a huge responsibility which is tough to handle. There will be a lot of pressure. I find happiness in doing what I like the most and I have to prove myself as an actor. I will work harder to entertain the audiences.” said Keerthy.

Keerthy Suresh achieved new heights in the career with just a single movie in South Film Industry. The film Mahanati has made her the new star in South cinema. She has lived in the role of the legendary actress Savitri. The actress recently shared some of the experiences with the movie and revealed her reaction on the final day of the film’s sets.

“Mahanati is a special film. I am not sure if I can do something like this in future but my career will begin from Mahanati. I don’t know much about Savitri life before signing the project. I started the project with a lot of doubts and went through physical as well as mental strain. On the last day of the film’s shoot, I was in a situation where I am at the loss of words. I am happy and sad at a time. It was difficult for me to overcome that feeling.” said the actress.

After the release of the film Mahanati, a lot of people have come forward to openly appreciate the efforts of the film unit. Many people appreciated the director Nag Ashwin for coming up with a prestigious project on the legendary actress Savitri. Meanwhile, Rakul Preet Singh is also one among those who praised the film unit on the social media. Interestingly, we have come to know that Dulquer Salmaan fans are angry on Rakul Preet Singh.

Rakul mentioned about Keerthy, Samantha, Vijay, and others in her tweet but ignored mentioning Dulquer Salmaan. This did not go well with the fans of Dulquer who played the key role Gemini Ganeshan in the movie. Many fans have directly tweeted their anger to Rakul Preet and conveyed their displeasure. Some even tried to troll the actress.

Keerthy Suresh scored a big hit with the film Mahanati. The film is going to be a big inspiration for many who wanted to do biopics. The buzz in Kollywood is that a biopic is being planned on Tamilnadu ex-CM Jayalalithaa and Keerthy is in consideration to play the lead. Keerthy Suresh is also aware of the buzz and the actress clarified that she was not approached by anyone.

The actress, during the post-release promotions of the film Mahanati, has made shocking comments that she is not in a mood to act in biopics anymore. She said that her major concentration is on love stories and commercial films. The actress gave clarity that she is not ready to sign female-centric movies at this point in time in her career.

“While doing experiments, people usually face a lot of controversies and criticisms, and one shouldn’t just think about them. They need to focus on the work so that they will definitely receive appreciations at the end,” says Keerthy Suresh. We all know that the much-awaited film biopic of Savitri, which titled as Mahanati finally hit the screens and took the box office by heavy storm.

The film features Keerthy Suresh as Savitri and completely steals the show. She clarified that she didn’t think about the criticisms while accepting the story. “After listening to a narration, I shift my complete focus to that particular. How can I do justice to it? What it actually needs? I usually don’t have enough time to evaluate what others will think about this character,” shares Keerthy.

She even said that even though she is still in the initial stages of her, the actress is getting good roles and promised that she will work hard more to entertain the audience with some good performances.

The film is directed by Nag Ashwin and Priyanka Dutt, Swapna Dutt has produced this film. It also features Vijay Devarakonda, Samantha, Dulquer Salman in the lead roles.

Mahanati is the film that is made on the life of the legendary actress Savitri. The makers tried their best to avoid all the controversies and have projected both Savitri and her husband Gemini Ganesan in a positive manner. The makers have left the decision of choosing the person behind Savitri’s miserable life in her final days to the audiences itself. Now, we have come to know that Gemini Ganesan’s daughter Kamala Selvaraj has made some interesting comments on the movie telling that the makers have projected her father in a poor light.

“It is disheartening to come to know that the makers have projected my father in a poor light. My father is also one of the star heroes during those days. The makers showed that my father only introduced drinking habits to Savitri which is hurting. When Savitri is busy with the film Praptham, I accompanied my father to her house where her relatives and watchman have not allowed us to go inside. After that I have never been to the house.” said Kamala Selvaraj.

Director Vikram Kumar who came into the limelight with the movies Ishq, 24, Manam and Hello is very impressed with the latest biopic Mahanati. Directed by Nag Aswin, Mahanti has been receiving praises ever since it hit the theaters.

Being it the adaptation of the legendary actress Savitri’s life story, Mahanati stars Keerthy Suresh, Dulquer Salman as the main leads. Vikram Kumar the director seems to be very impressed after watching this epic biopic. Vikram took his Twitter to express his views on Mahanati.

“Mahanati- Easily one of the best Telugu movies I’ve seen. Every frame reveals the love that had gone into making this wonderful piece. Nag Ashwin, you deserve every bit of the praise you’re getting, and more. No biopic is easy to make, but to make us laugh, cry and shed happy tears is no mean feat. The entire cast and crew have poured their soul onto the screen, and it shows, especially in Keerthy’s amazing transformation into Savitri Gaaru. Telugu cinema herself has taken a massive step forward. So proud”, Vikram wrote.

Rajamouli has made some interesting comments about Nag Ashwin and told that he is jealous of the young director.

“The way Nag Ashwin made the film clearly proves that he is a great director. He has portrayed particular emotional scenes in a very impressive manner and he has done that with a lot of ease. For that reason, I am very jealous of Nag Ashwin.” Said Rajamouli.
