However, the latest praise came from none other than the legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam.

Mani Ratnam is a big fan of Sai Pallavi!

The acclaimed filmmaker was recently invited to the pre-release event of the upcoming Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Amaran, where he shared some insights about the film. The Ponniyin Selvan director revealed that he is a huge fan of Sai Pallavi and expressed his desire to work with the actress someday.

Sai Pallavi, who was also at the event, could not contain her happiness and expressed her joy at being appreciated by the renowned filmmaker.
