After the likes of Rishi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol and Ranvir Singh, a contemporary superstar has hailed 'Baahubali-2'. Akshay Kumar has said that the film "deserves every bit of hype & success, taking Indian cinema to international level".

While Akshay is the first important Hindi film star of the present generation to give the magnum opus a thumbs-up, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are yet to praise the movie. Just as Akki, they might do it in near future, especially because there is a growing sense among commoners that they are silent because they are green with envy that a regional film has turned out to be India's biggest blockbuster.

In a not-so-subtle dig, 'Rajamata' Ramya Krishna has shared an article which says that the film has blown away the Khans. Something similar was earlier shared by the official page of 'Baahubali' on Twitter.
