It is an open secret that 'Magadheera's fort set has been an inspiration of the fort set of all time great classic hollywood movie, 'Benhar'. Rajamouli's taste of directing period drama was revealed through 'Magadheera'. And now, Rajamoiuli wishes to outsmart 'Magadheera' completely through his latest venture 'Baahubali'. Obviously, the film will be having mind boggling sets for sure. Recently, Rajamouli has received a letter of appreciation from Ramoji Rao for erecting very interesting sets for the film.
If 'Magadheera's fort set was inspired by 'Benhar', which hollywood movie is going to be an inspiration for 'Baahubali'? As per gossipmongers, Rajamouli might be inspired by the movies such as 'Troy', '300' and 'Gladiator'. Brad Pitt starrer 'Troy' has a wonderful fort set. The protagonist is seen as a great warrior in this film. Incidentally, 'Gladiator's model of stadium set was recently seen in the trailers of Rajinikanth's 'Kochadaiiyaan'. But then, what is Rajamouli's choice? Will he opt for above hollywood movies or will go for Vithalacharya's old 'janapada movies' for sets? Let's wait for the release of the movie to get the answer.
