Rajamouli’s upcoming magnum opus, Baahubali may be a gate pass for the director to Bollywood. Even though, Eega is a successful film, marketing led down the Hindi version, Makkhi and Rajamouli could not reap any benefits from the film then.
However he is lucky enough this time to have Karan Johar on board for the Hindi version. Karan is known to be an aggressive promoter and is doing very well with Baahubali Hindi version. The movie already made good buzz there. Karan had many top actors and actresses at his disposal who will come down for promotion if necessary.
In one of the interviews, Karan Johar was asked why he did not make Baahubali in Hindi for which he said there is only one Rajamouli in the country who is sitting in Telugu film industry. The statement reveals the trust of Karan Johar on Rajamouli and the project as a whole.
On the other side, the theatrical trailer of the movie is attached to the prints of Dil Dhadakne Do starring Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and others. The movie is carrying goood buzz and will bring good eye balls to Baahubali trailer. If Baahubali makes its mark on Bollywood Box office, Rajamouli may be on his way to the Hindi heart land next!
