Recently, after watching Rajinikanth-starrer 'Petta', Mahesh Babu took to Twitter to laud the superstar, director Karthik Subbaraj and cinematographer Thiru. Thiru has previously worked with the 'Maharshi' actor on 'Bharat Ane Nenu'. He was highly impressed with Mahesh's understanding of the craft of cinema back then. And he is once again all praise for the actor.

"Thank you so much Mahesh garu for your kind words, means a lot to me. Your appreciation and understanding of cinema as a whole is admirable," Thiru, who debuted in Telugu with 'Janatha Garage in 2016, tweets out.

Mahesh will resume Maharshi's shoot later this month in Pollachi.
