From KV Reddy To Rajamouli: Telugu Directors With the Most Number Of Industry Hits
Telugu cinema has opened the doors for Indian cinema to reach the global stage. Our very own Rajamouli has done it and made us proud with his movies taking our movies to the global stage and getting recognition there. Before Rajamouli, there were many directors from Tollywood who delivered sensational blockbusters, whose movies have the same global appeal. One of them is the great K.V. Reddy garu, I am quite sure if Mayabazar were sent to the Oscars, it could have bagged at least 2-3 Oscar wins.
