Rajinikanth Praises Soori's Boat Race Film 'Mandaadi'

Superstar Rajinikanth recently contacted actor Soori to commend his performance in the newly released film, 'Mandaadi'. Soori expressed his gratitude on social media, describing the call from Rajinikanth as a cherished and significant moment for him and the entire film crew.

The film 'Mandaadi', released on September 10, is gaining attention for its dynamic boat-racing sequences and compelling performances. Directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, the narrative centers on a traditional sailing boat race occurring along the Tamil Nadu coastline, with Soori embodying the role of the team leader.

Filming the extensive sea-based sequences presented considerable production challenges, including two months of shooting at sea and a challenging schedule involving extensive work on boats. The production faced further setbacks when a boat capsized during filming, leading to equipment loss.

'Mandaadi' signifies a key step in Soori's career as he continues to transition into leading roles following his successful career as a comedian and supporting actor. This film follows his protagonist-driven projects like 'Viduthalai Part 1', 'Garudan', and 'Maaman'.

Soori's peers, including actors Sivakarthikeyan and Vishnu Vishal, have also applauded the film, with Sivakarthikeyan specifically highlighting Soori's hard work and dedication. The film's climax, featuring its prominent boat-racing elements, is particularly noteworthy.
