Generally, an announcement of a new film from Rajamouli gathers huge media and public attention. Same was the scene with 'Baahubali' which has Prabhas, Rana and Anushka in lead roles to be made amidst huge action with folk backdrop. While Prabhas and Anushka combo is not new, it is Rana with Anushka which made a difference to the complete flavor of this project. Obviously, people are stimulated to see how this pair actually looks on-screen. Not to mention, this is first time Rana has got a right partner suiting to his physical body make-up.
But director Gunasekhar who is turning into a producer with 'Rani Rudramadevi' has succeeded in grabbing a share of 'Baahubali' attention by declaring Rana as male lead besides Anushka in this historic subject ever touched on visual format. Arraning the test shoots in foreign locales with state of art technologies being used, giving rehearsals in new kind of Martial Arts for Anushka and Rana...now, the shooting launch of 'Rani Rudramadevi' has kept 'Baahubali' out of the focus for a while. As a new producer, Gunasekhar seems to be well promoting his new venture dominating the directorial gimmicks of Rajamouli.
