Rana Daggubati elated over Baahubali 2 and Ghazi's National Awards

The actor was a part of both the Telugu films which gained the national recognition 

Rana Daggubati says he is very happy that both his films Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Ghazi, were honoured at the 65th National Film Awards.

While Ghazi won the Best Telugu film award, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion bagged the awards for Best Action-direction, Best Special Effects, and Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. 

"The joy of Baahubali has been going on for last five-six years -- from the shooting process to the box office success. It has really brought in spectacle cinema in a big way in India," says Rana.

"Ghazi is one of the films that I am really very proud of because there was a lot of resistance when I was trying to make the film. There is no love story, song dance sequence that we have in regular Telugu films. But it did well at the box office in all languages and has now won a National award. I did a big film and an alternate genre film and both have got their due, so it's great," he adds.
