Eega is a 2012 Indian, bilingual, fantasy film written by K. V. Vijayendra Prasad and directed by his son, S. S. Rajamouli. It was produced by Korrapati Ranganatha Sai Varahi Chalana Chitram with an estimated budget of 260 to 400 million, and was made simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil; the latter as Naan Ee (I, Housefly). The film stars Sudeep, Nani, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. K. K. Senthil Kumar was director of photography, M. M. Keeravani composed the soundtrack and score, and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao edited the film. Janardhan Maharshi and Crazy Mohan wrote the dialogue for the Telugu and Tamil versions, respectively.
The narrative of Eega is in the form of a bedtime story told by a father to his daughter. Its protagonist is Nani, who loves his neighbour Bindu. Nani is murdered by a wealthy businessman named Sudeep, who is attracted to Bindu and considers Nani a rival. Nani reincarnates as a housefly and tries to protect Bindu while avenging his death.
The idea for the film originated in the 1990s from a conversation in which Prasad joked with Rajamouli about the idea of a fly seeking revenge against a human. Rajamouli revisited the idea after finishing Maryada Ramanna (2010), and Prasad developed it into a script. The film's production began on 7 December 2010 at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad. Principal photography began on 22 February 2011 and continued until late February 2012. Makuta VFX and Annapurna Studios oversaw Eega visual effects and digital intermediate process, respectively.
The two versions of the film, alongside its Malayalam-dubbed version titled Eecha, were released on 6 July 2012 in approximately 1,100 screens globally. The film received generally positive reviews; the performances of the principal cast, Rajamouli's direction, and the visual effects were praised. Eega was one of the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year, earning more than 1.25 billion. Its Hindi-dubbed version, Makkhi, which was released on 12 October 2012, was not as commercially successful as the others. Eega won two National Film Awards ( Best Feature Film in Telugu and Best Special Effects), five Filmfare Awards, and three SIIMA Awards. It was screened at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, the 2013 Shanghai International Film Festival, and the 2013 Madrid International Film Festival.
Eega is the soundtrack to the 2012 Indian Telugu fantasy film of the same name. It's Tamil version is titled Naan Ee. Composed by M. M. Keeravani, the film's soundtrack in both Telugu and Tamil versions features five songs, out of which one is a remixed version of the title song. The soundtrack, released in Telugu and Tamil on 30 March and 1 April 2012, was a critical and commercial success.
