Karan Johar lauds 'Kaaka Muttai'

Filmmaker Karan Johar is all praise for the National-Award winning Tamil film "Kaaka Muttai".

Johar, 43, was "genuinely moved" by the film, written and directed by M Manikandan.

"'Kaaka Muttai' is a gem of a film! Genuinely moved by it... Small film... With a huge heart! Congrats @foxstarhindi @dhanushkraja," Johar tweeted.

Jointly produced by Dhanush and Vetrimaaran, the comedy-drama features newcomers, Vignesh and Ramesh alongside Iyshwarya Rajesh and revolves around two slum children of Chennai whose desire is to taste a pizza.

The film premiered last year at the 39th Toronto International Film Festival, and released worldwide on last Friday.
 

Johar will be presenting SS Rajamouli's upcoming multilingual film "Bahubali-The Beginning" in Hindi. The movie is expected to release by next month.
