The film, which hit theatres on September 10, has received positive responses for its story, performances, and challenging sea-based sequences.

The appreciation from Rajinikanth has now added another memorable moment to Soori’s journey as a lead actor.

Soori took to social media to reveal that Rajinikanth had watched and enjoyed Mandaadi. Sharing a picture from their interaction, the actor wrote: “Superstar Rajinikanth Sir watched and loved our #Mandaadi. His heartfelt call means the world to our entire team and me. This picture captured the priceless moment of hearing his voice on the other end! ❤️🙏 @rajinikanth sir 🙏🙏🙏 அவருடைய வார்த்தைகள் எனக்குக் கிடைத்த மிகப்பெரிய ஆசீர்வாதம்!” Soori’s words show how deeply the Superstar’s appreciation has affected him.

A personal call from Rajinikanth is now being seen as a memorable milestone in Soori’s evolving career as a lead actor. Soori has earlier earned recognition for films such as ‘Viduthalai,’ ‘Garudan,’ ‘Kottukkaali,’ and ‘Maaman,’ and ‘Mandaadi’ continues that transformation.

Soori’s hard work in ‘Mandaadi’ gets attention

Directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, ‘Mandaadi’ explores the traditional sailing boat race associated with the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu.

The film demanded considerable physical effort from Soori and the rest of the cast, with large portions shot in the sea. The team reportedly spent nearly two months filming on the water, while the production also faced unexpected challenges during the shoot. The difficult process is reflected on screen through the film’s boat-racing scenes and action portions.

Fellow actors have also praised Soori’s commitment to the project, adding to the positive word of mouth around the film.
