It is not just imitating. She brought the legendary actress back to life. @dulQuer is absolutely fantastic. I am his fan now,” tweeted SS Rajamouli.

“Hearing the most wonderful things about #Mahanati! Overwhelmed and grateful! Thank you @nagashwin7 Swapna Priyanka and Ashwini Dutt garu for putting their faith in me. Lots of love to @KeerthyOfficial @Samanthaprabhu2 @TheDeverakonda Rajendra Prasad garu & the entire cast (sic),” tweeted Dulquer.

After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd.
