Acclaimed director SS Rajamouli, too, is bowled over by 'Jersey'. The top filmmaker has taken to Twitter to gush about the movie, reserving special mention for Natural Star Nani, his 'Eega' star.

"Heartwarming and joyful.. #Jersey is full of superbly written, crafted and directed scenes... Well done Gowtam Tinnanuri... A film which everyone involved can be proud of. Nani "Babu"... Just love you anthe," the director said.

After the likes of Nag Ashwin (for 'Mahanati') and Sandeep Vanga (for 'Arjun Reddy'), it seems Gowtam is one rare director who has thoroughly impressed Rajamouli, the difficult-to-be-pleased talent, with his rare craft.

The cricket-based family drama has been praised by the likes of NTR, Allu Arjun, Vijay Deverakonda and others.
