Director Sai Rajesh’s cult blockbuster Baby, produced by Mass Movie Makers banner SKN and starring Anand Devarakonda, Viraj Ashwin, and Vaishnavi Chaitanya, has achieved another historic milestone. At the recently held Filmfare South 2024 Awards, Baby won 5 awards out of 8 nominations. In light of this achievement, the movie team spoke exclusively to the media at a press meet.
Director Sai Rajesh said: “I am delighted that Baby won 5 awards out of 8 nominations at the Filmfare Awards. This is our first Filmfare win, except for Ananth Sriram. In the first two weeks, the media carried the film, and the audience supported it from there. Baby won the Best Movie award and received critical acclaim. All credit for Baby goes to my friend SKN.”
Director Maruthi said: “I am pleased that Baby received 5 Filmfare Awards. It’s gratifying to see a small film receive such recognition, challenging the notion that awards are reserved for big films. The media’s support was crucial. We believed Sai Rajesh would make a commercially successful film, and he delivered a great movie.”
Producer SKN said: “This is a moment that disproves the notion that awards are only for star-studded films. Baby winning 5 Filmfare Awards is a significant achievement. We hoped the film would do well, but receiving these awards is a bonus. Baby continues to create memorable moments for us. It is proving that a good film can achieve great success, combining both critical acclaim and box office performance.”
