If we speak about rewriting the records in South cinema, only two directors that come in our thoughts are Shankar from Tamil and SS Rajamouli in Telugu. They have set high standards for Indian cinema which Bollywood is also following off late. What happens when Shankar watched Baahubali 2?
‘Just saw Bahubali 2 - The pride of Indian Cinema. What a Bravery, Beauty, Grandness and Music. Awestruck,.Hats Off to ‘Raja’mouli artists and team,’ said Shankar.
Yes, the way Shankar attached single quotes for RAJA is an expression of deep admiration and respect he had for the film and its director.
At any point of time, two contemporary and competitive directors come face to face; obviously egos stop them from opening their inner feelings. But, Rajamouli and Shankar always maintained cordial and friendly relations appreciating the creative commercial sense. Meanwhile, we also have Shankar’s 2.0 coming up and after Baahubali 2, this is the technical wonder world audience are waiting for.
