Not only was the movie a success, Eega also helped Kannada’s superstar Sudeep have a grip in the Telugu industry.

Chatrapathi

Chatrapathi: Even before the coming-together of Baahubali, fate had already bonded together SS Rajamouli and Prabhas. A movie more on the sentimental side, Chatrapathi is a film about a one-man-army with love, drama, politics and highlights SS Rajamouli’s skill in every genre as a director.

Sye

Sye: As the highest budget movie in Rajamouli's career till 2004, Sye yet again showcased SS Rajamouli as one among the few who would make the conventional, warring student situation into an intense showdown of fixation and entertainment.

Magadheera

A movie of crafty visuals juxtaposed with a theme of reincarnation, Magadheera became an instant hit in the Telugu cinema. Given the success of the movie, Magadherra was later remade in the Bengali version titled Yoddha: The Warrior.

Vikramarkudu

Vikramarkudu: With a gravity-defying fight scene, Vikramarkudu is a heightened South-action thriller at is best.
