Anusha Rizvi awarded Gollapudi Srinivas National Award

It was a proud moment for Anusha Rizvi when she was awarded the Best Debut Director at the Gollapudi Srinivas National Award recently in the city.
And her film, Peepli [Live] came in for much appreciation from several Kollywood veterans, including Mani Ratnam and Gauthami. Mani Ratnam went so far as to say that Anusha’s debut film did not seem like one and that her attempt was mature beyond her filmmaking years.Composer Vishal Bharadwaj said he wanted to be in Chennai to witness the very first Indian award that Anusha got for her film.
