SS Rajamouli and Jr NTR on Friday described the Padma Shri honour to MM Keeravani as a long-overdue one. They joined millions of Keeravani's fans to welcome the stellar recognition from the Government of India.

The 'Aravindha Sametha' actor described the honour in glowing terms without writing too much.

On his part, the 'RRR' and 'Baahubali' director said that the universe is rewarding his Peddanna. "Like many of your fans feel, this recognition was long overdue. But, as you say the universe has a strange way of rewarding one's efforts. If I can talk back to the universe, I would say Konchem gap ivvamma. okati poorthigaa enjoy chesaaka inkoti ivvu (sic)," the celebrated director tweeted.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan, Megastar Chiranjeevi and others have also wished Keeravani.
