The margin of winning gap between ‘Aththarintiki Daaredi’ and ‘Magadheera’ industry hit collection records isn’t as wide as what we see today between new record breaking films ‘Bahubali’ and ‘Srimanthudu.’ Yes, SS Rajamouli and Prabhas have took the Telugu cinema commercial standards so high which is in fact unachievable for any of the films set to release in next one year, except ‘Bahubali 2.’
Apparently, the Box Office strategy followed by ‘Bahubali’ is implemented as it is by ‘Srimanthudu’ which is now standing in Top 2 highest revenue generating Tollywood films. ‘Although ‘Srimanthudu’ records are more or less in the achievable field again either for Mahesh Babu or Pawan Kalyan but ‘Bahubali 1’ records can be broken only if ‘Bahubali 2’ performs above than the expected scale,’ comments an analyst.
Take it with a silver lining, Prabhas will stay on top most industry records may be for next 5 to 10 years in the name of ‘Bahubali 1’ and ‘Bahubali 2.’ No one can reach that No 1 position until and unless Rajamouli picks Mahesh Babu or Pawan Kalyan or even Junior NTR for his next project. Will this happen? The chances are quite meager.
