SS Rajamouli's monumental work 'Baahubali' is releasing in multi-languages which include Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi versions apart from Telugu version. Runaway success appears to be guaranteed for the movie in Telugu states, Tamil Nadu and Kerala given the previous successful track record of Rajamouli.
However, Bollywood's movie patrons are expressing their doubts if the movie creates enough buzz among Hindi speaking people. As a matter of fact, no South Indian dubbed film in Hindi has fared well recently including Rajini starrer 'Robot' and Shankar's 'I'. When it comes to 'Baahubali', North Indians know the faces of only Rana and Tamannah from 'Baahubali' but no star cast is known to them. On the other side, Salman Khan's 'Bhajrangi Bhaijan' is releasing in the month of July. Moreover, 'Baahubali' is releasing during the season of Ramzan which may cut off Muslim audiences. In this scenario, everyone from Bollywood is surprised with Karan Johar's confidence as he is presenting the movie in Hindi on his Dharma Productions.
For the moment, the makers of 'Baahubali' are aware of all the difficulties to be faced by them prior to the movie's release. " It's not something like either 'Robo' or 'I'. This is the country's first war based film. We are treating it like an Indian film rather than a dubbed film. It's content and visuals that highlighted in the film but not the star cast and we too project the same for Hindi audiences with our promotions. We kickstart the promotions of the movie before one month of the movie' release in Hindi," said the makers and distributors of the movie. All of them expressed the supreme confidence that the movie entice Hindi audiences.
