NTR Kathanayakudu is one of the most anticipated Telugu movies. Like the audience, many celebs, who have grown up watching late NTR's movies, were eagerly waiting to watch it and superstar Mahesh Babu was one among them.

The actor took some time off from his busy schedule of Maharshi and watched the movie with his family on its opening day and he was impressed with the depiction of NTR's life.

Soon after watching it, Mahesh Babu took to his Twitter account to share his review on NTR Kathanayakudu. He tweeted, "Surreal & large... @DirKrish has painted the canvas with an out of the world experience Balakrishna garu has gone into the skin of #NTR garu's character and LIVED EVERY BIT OF IT All the characters penned & portrayed are 100% true to life. Brilliant."

Mahesh Babu added, "#NTRKathanayakudu is undoubtedly the best tribute one could have ever given to the LEGEND of Telugu cinema, NT Rama Rao garuIf there's going to be anything better than #NTRKathanayakudu, it's going to be #NTRMahanayakudu.

The film unit completed its shoot in the last week of October and canning of the episodes of NTR and Krishna's bonding were pending. But there was no further update on this.
