Soori says Superstar Rajinikanth watched Mandaadi and personally called to share his appreciation — a moment the actor called priceless for the whole team.

Posting on X with a photo from the call, Soori wrote that Rajini sir “watched and loved” the film and that the heartfelt words felt like a blessing. The call lands as Mandaadi continues its strong theatrical run after a tough sea shoot (the unit spent about two months on water; a production boat even capsized mid-schedule).

Fellow actors including Sivakarthikeyan and Vishnu Vishal had already congratulated Soori after release. Paired with Vetri Maaran’s praise, this is the week’s strongest endorsement package for the film.

Superstar Rajinikanth Sir watched and loved our #Mandaadi. His heartfelt call means the world to me and our entire team. This picture captured the priceless moment of hearing his voice on the other end! ❤️🙏@rajinikanth sir 🙏🙏🙏
