Yet another SS Rajamouli movie that is a must-watch fantasy Telugu movie is Eega which was released back in 2012.

The fly and Bindu team up to make Sudeep’s life a living hell. Watch this movie for its amazing cinematography and graphics.

Directed by BV Nandini Reddy, the cast of the movie includes Samantha, Lakshmi, and Naga Shaurya in lead roles. Samantha’s performance as a 70-year-old woman who becomes a 24-year-old in this movie received a lot of appreciation.
