Noted director S S Rajamouli praised the super hit Malayalam movie 'Premalu' and revealed that he couldn't stop laughing while watching the film in theatres. 

Speaking at the film's success bash in Hyderabad along with the film's crew, Rajamouli said, "I will admit with jealousy and pain that the Malayalam film industry produces better actors." He also praised the performances of Mamitha Baiju and Naslen K. Gafoor.

The director admitted that he wasn't very enthusiastic when his son Karthikeya first obtained the Telugu dubbing rights for the film. 

Earlier this month, Rajamouli tweeted, "So glad Karthikeya did #Premalu in Telugu. It was a laugh riot throughout. The writer did a fab job in getting the meme/youth language perfectly right. I liked the girl, Reenu in the trailer itself. In the film even the boy Sachin is lovable. But my fav is Aadi..JK..Just Kidding."
