National film awards

, Rana Daggubati is on cloud nine. Speaking about it, Rana said that though he had been enjoying the high of the success of 'Baahubali' for the last 6-7 years, he was happier for '

Ghazi

' garnering the spotlight at the National Film Awards, which won the Best Telugu film award. “There was a lot of resistance when we were making the film, especially because it is not in a regular Telugu format. It was a submarine war film devoid of a love story, songs or anything regular that viewers look for in Telugu films. But we still believed in it. So, it’s indeed a proud moment for us that it did well at the box office in all three languages and has now won a National Award,” he said.

Thanking the directors of these films @ssrajamouli and Sankalp for teaching me so much and making the process of filming so memorable . (sic)”
