"No Wrong In Award" -Baahubali Writer
on Apr 12, 2016
The biggest controversy ever faced by Baahubali: The Beginning after minor controversies like 'The Rape of Avantika' is the film being awarded a National Award for Best Film. Many stated that the Rajamouli creation has no right to bag the award in any angle.
Talking about the same, Baahubali writer, Rajamouli's father V Vijayendra Prasad stated that there is no wrong in the film getting an award. "Most of the times, films that get National Award are the ones less seen by public. But for first time, those films like Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijan, that are hugely liked by public have fetched awards. That's a good sign", he says.
Also there is criticism that films with songs and comedy scenes shouldn't get awards, he reacts, "Songs are essential part of Indian cinema, so why should we isolate and alienate them?"
