Baahubali being a bilingual in Telugu & Tamil was able to win the coveted awards for Tamil Films. However, since the Malayalam version was only a dubbed movie, the movie couldn't contest in the Malayalam film categories. More awards for Baahubali are expected as the Telugu film Awrds will be announced today.
