Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has lauded Vikramaditya Motwane's mature direction and the performances by the actors in 'Udaan'.
The 67-year-old actor, who watched the film in a private screening on Monday, found it deserving of the praises it has already garnered from the audience.
"I found that the film deserved the accolades it was getting. Vikramaditya Motwane, a school mate of Abhishek has directed this film. A young man who had come some years ago to me with a marvelous script, has directed this venture of his with the maturity that one does not expect to see from one on his debut venture," Bachchan wrote on his blog.
"Apart from the novelty of the presentation of the film, the matter that stands out is the performances from each and every artist. Nothing seems rehearsed and deliberate. It is just a simple exercise in not doing anything in front of the camera," he added.
'Udaan', released on 16th July, is a story of a teenage boy played by newcomer Rajat Barmecha, who returns from boarding school after eight years to a life with his authoritarian father played by actor Ronit Roy.
The film was officially selected to compete in the 'Un Certain Regarde (A Certain Look) category at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
