A few years ago, Megastar Chiranjeevi expressed his wish of working for a movie in the direction of Tamil top director Shankar. Since Shankar shared the same dais of Chiranjeevi, maybe the latter felt it a courtesy delivering the above statement on the successful director of the South.However, some of the media houses commented Chiranjeevi, stating that the former's stature was lost with the statement.
And today, Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth praised Rajamouli in 'Lingaa' audio event in Hydeabad. Rajini hoped he would do a movie in the direction of Rajamouli. He also wished that SSR would become the number one director with 'Baahubali'. It remains to be seen how well the media treats Rajini's statement on Rajamouli. There are some people who opine Telugu media has soft corner on Rajini. Finally, many analysts made it clear that both Rajini and Chiranjeevi know the stage respect and their praises on the directors are the indications of their modesty.
