The entire Telugu film industry and movie connoisseurs have been raving about Mahanati, the landmark biopic on legendary actress Savitri. Director Sukumar took to Facebook and penned a moving post to Mahanati’s director Nag Ashwin after watching Mahanati.
Sukumar revealed an emotional incident with an old woman soon after Mahanati’s screening. Sukumar revealed that an old woman came to him and asked him if he was a director. When Sukumar told her “yes”, she immediately hugged him and started crying, telling him, “how beautifully you have shown my Savithramma”. “I was in tears,” admitted Sukumar.
The Rangasthalam director further said that he has been trying to reach Nag Ashwin on his number ever since the above incident took place. “I couldn’t tell her that it wasn’t me who directed Mahanati. She blessed me wholeheartedly. For a few moments, I was happy to become you. What else can I say about the experience I have had after watching Mahanati?,” Sukumar said.
