When risking with a budget of nearly Rs.70 Crores on a three language film, it is not going to be so easy for Rajamouli to make the same old combinations work wonders. More than creative sense, a bit of commercial sense is also required and our Jakkanna is now appreciated by one and all in industry for this. As ‘Baahubali’ is to be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, alone the star cast of Prabhas, Rana and Anushka may not help the movie to get an initial recognition in Tamil and Hindi.
Apart from roping in few popular Tamil artists, producer Devineni Prasad and Rajamouli approached Sreedevi and Sushmita Sen for playing the mother character to Prabhas and Rana. This would be gem of a move because any popular Bollywood actress in a key character will make the business of Hindi version become an easy task. Both of the actresses heard the storyline and are yet to confirm on who will be the part of ‘Baahubali.’ Anyways, hats off to Rajamouli’s presence of mind as he is making this multi star film remain as a milestone in Indian film industry.
