National Awards for a Telugu film means a matter of prestige and proud moments for Tollywood. 'Eega' winning two National Awards in Best Regional Film and Best Visual Effects category has ofcourse made SS Rajamouli so happy but he expected one more and he seems to be disappointed in one aspect. It is about antagonist character portrayed by Sudeep. Yes, Jakkanna expected Sudeep to bag an award but this did not happen.
'Best Vfx is almost expected. But I would have been really happy had Sudeep received the recognition for his extraordinary efforts. 'Eega' is not the same without him,' Rajamouli said. Definitely Sudeep's contribution to the movie is more than the graphically animated 'Eega.' There is a valid point in Rajamouli's disappointment and that is what our National Awards are known for?
