As the Vijay starrer Puli has opened to mixed reviews from audience and critics, the movie has been raved by many celebrities within the industry. After Samantha and Tamannah, the latest one to join the list is director-actor Samuthirakani. The director, who watched the film recently, had only praise for the film.

"Puli is an out-and-out film for Children. The film introduces a whole new world to children. Infact, Puli offers kids the virtual reality of old- age tales that we have been enjoying from our childhood. Whatever we have visualized in our minds about those tales, is reflected on the screens through Puli," said the Visaaranai actor.

He also added, "Only Chimbhu Deven can direct a film of this genre. It is surprising that a mass hero like Vijay has adapted so well to a fantasy genre for children. I wish him best wishes and also hope more actors come out in this style." Samuthirakani also appreciated the cinematographer Natarajan aka Natty and CG department as well. He didnot forget to appreciate the energetic music tracks composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

"Being a perfect fantasy entertainer, Puli can be very much enjoyed with family," Signed off Samuthirakani.
