SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali released and created history at the worldwide box-office last year. The film has been called India’s biggest blockbuster. Now, can anyone believe that the man behind this historic success, Rajamouli, initially felt that Baahubali will not work commercially?
Prabhas, at the just concluded GAMA Film Awards in Dubai where Baahubali grabbed most of the awards, revealed several hidden and interesting facts about Baahubali. The Young Rebel Star said that Baahubali was initially planned as only one part and that once the script was locked and budget was chalked out, Rajamouli told the film’s producers Shobu and Prasad that Baahubali will not be commercially viable.
Prabhas went on explaining that being passionate about films, both the producers asserted Rajamouli that they will pump in any amount of money to back the project at any cost and even told Rajamouli not to worry about the risks and finances involved. And then, the film began and the rest was history!
