One of the much-awaited Tollywood films this year, Mahanati has hit the screens and the audience already seems to be in its awe. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this film essays the life story of one of Telugu film industry’s greatest actresses, Savitri. While Keerthy Suresh plays the titular role, Samantha Akkineni, Dulquer Salmaan, and Vijay Deverakonda play other crucial roles. If the latest review by the T-Town is anything to go by, the film surely seems to emerge as a sure shot winner and a true tribute to the legendary actress.
Apart from the common audience who are showering praises on Mahanati, here’s what a few of the Tollywood celebrities had to say about this film.
