For the World, It Is Baahubali, But Not For Tollywood

S. S. Rajamouli is one of the biggest directors in Indian cinema. Many people believe that Baahubali changed his career and made him famous across India. The film brought him huge success and introduced his talent to audiences across the country. Later RRR brought him worldwide fame. But Rajamouli has a different favourite film. He gives a special place to Eega in his heart.

For many people around the world ,it is Baahubali is the best film in Rajamouli's career. But for Telugu audiences and his fans, Eega also holds a special place. If we ask Telugu celebrities to name their favourite Rajamouli film, many may choose Eega over Baahubali. Rajamouli made a fly the main character and created an exciting revenge story around it.

Making a film with a fly as the hero was a big experiment. Rajamouli used his creativity and storytelling skills to make the idea work. The film also connected with audiences through its emotions, comedy and revenge drama. Rajamouli himself has explained why Eega means so much to him. He believes the film gave him more confidence as a director. While many people divide his career into the periods before and after Baahubali, he looks at his journey as the time before and after Eega.

Interestingly, Rajamouli's son, S. S. Karthikeya, has also spoken about his love for Eega. He has expressed his strong liking for the film and shared his dislike for Student No. 1, Rajamouli's first film as a director.

So for Pan world it can be Baahubali that made Rajamouli such a big star. But for Telugu audience and for Rajamouli fans, it is definitely Eega that they consider as classic.
