Superstar Rajinikanth, who is busy shooting for his upcoming film "Kabali", took out time to watch the latest Tamil fantasy drama "Puli" in a private screening and has since then been in awe of the film and the team behind it.
"I should say I'm amazed with 'Puli'. The spectacular sets and the grand scale on which the film has been made is on par with Hollywood standards," Rajinikanth said in a statement.
The superstar particularly commended actor Vijay's effort to star in a fantasy film, which he describes as a "perfect treat for family and kids".
Directed by Chimbu Deven, the film, despite initial setback, has grossed Rs.62 crore worldwide in the opening weekend.
Released simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, the film also features Sridevi, Shruti Haasan and Hansika Motwani in pivotal roles.
