Rana Reacts to Nani's Disappointment Over Jai Bhim Losing National Award
Rana Daggubati is renowned for his candidness when it comes to expressing his views on matters concerning the film industry. Recently, he addressed the National Awards controversy surrounding Jai Bhim, which didn't receive any awards, leaving several celebrities like Nani, Prakash Raj, and others disheartened. Rana made it clear that there is no controversy and that it's a matter of personal opinions.
Speaking about Jai Bhim not winning a National Award, Rana responded during an event to a journalist's question about why receiving an award is viewed as contentious, with actors criticizing each other. He mentioned that Pushpa winning the National Award for Allu Arjun's performance and Jai Bhim being a distinct film are separate matters. Rana emphasized that everyone is entitled to their opinions; just as he might appreciate one movie, someone else may prefer another. He clarified that it's not about the individuals involved but rather that the Jai Bhim story deserved more recognition but didn't receive it. He stressed that this isn't a reason for controversy, and the most any star does is express their views through tweets. According to him, real controversy involves media coverage, articles, videos, and YouTube links generating significant attention and debate. Rana concluded by saying that, among them, there is no real controversy.
When asked about Nani's post regarding Jai Bhim and Balakrishna's comments on awards at the event, Rana further stated that these controversies were based on assumptions. He noted that people have diverse preferences, and not everyone can be recognized for their merits. He highlighted that opinions are subjective and that everyone in the room likely has their own viewpoints.
For context, Jai Bhim, despite being nominated, failed to secure any wins at the National Awards. Nani expressed his disappointment through a post featuring a heartbroken emoji. This caused a stir, especially as Allu Arjun became the first Telugu actor to win the Best Actor National Film Award. Many fans shared Nani's disappointment, considering Jai Bhim a strong contender and one of the biggest blockbusters of 2020.
Allu Arjun's historic achievement as the first Telugu actor to win the National Film Award for Best Actor has been widely celebrated and acclaimed, marking a significant milestone in the history of Telugu cinema.
