There's lots of raining praises for south-indian master movie maker S.S.Rajamouli's Makkhi (Eega in Telugu)) as Bollywood looks forward to the release of the film on October 12.
Reliance Big Picture held a private screening of the film prior to it's release for Bollywood's big guns some days back. And Bollywood's King Khan Shah Rukh Khan was quick to commend Rajamouli's film after watching it. SRK tweeted, "Makkhi (eega) the fly.
Awesomely original & fun film by Rajamouli releasing on 12th oct. must watch with kids.all the best raja&team" (sic). What's more, the Shahrukh Khan's statement was later retweeted by more than 400 people on the micro blogging site.
Thrilled with SRK's appreciations, S.S.Rajamouli was courteous enough to thank the super star replying "thank you @iamsrk the king khan.
Offering your help for a complete stranger like me and tweeting about #makkhi shows ur greatness. honoured! felt very happy when shahrukh told me his son wanted to see #makkhi badly and they are going watch it together." (sic). The director also expressed his interest in making a straight Hindi film and Makkhi could just well be an ideal start to his Bollywood career.
This was just not over and South Indian superstar Rajinikanth also praised the movie and said "The movie would be a landmark film in Indian cinema much to the happiness of the filmmaker and actors".
Though Rajinikanth watched the tamil version of the film which is titled 'Naan Ee'. Sources reveal Rajamouli is an ardent fan of Rajinikanth right from his young age and now having given several blockbuster Telugu films, his dream is to work with Superstar.
S.S.Rajamouli is the same Film Maker whose telugu film 'Magadheera' was a record breaking hit in Andhra. And every other Bollywood actor is desperate to remake the film in Hindi Language.
However, Rajamouli has no intentions in remaking the film in Hindi. S.S.Rajamouli's other hit blockbusters which were remade into hindi are Rowdy Rathore (Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha) and Son Of Sardaar (Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha).
