Hearing great things about how the fantastic Kajol, my brother Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Rahul Bose & the wonderful Vishal Jethwa delivered superb performances. More power to you Revathy! You inspire all directors & women directors even more with such courageous & relevant stories.”
He added, “Also, congrats to my dear friend Aamir Khan for being a part of this brave attempt. Lastly, very moved to recall that I had met the real life Venky fleetingly, years ago at the Apollo hospital before he succumbed to this disorder. Heartened to know he was my admirer. Do watch this emotionally charged tale of the triumph of human spirit.”
