Ask Ram Gopal Varma or even the man of moment SS Rajamouli himself, who is the best and flamboyant film maker in Indian cinema at throwing the lavishness on screen with mind blowing colorful visuals and class presenter of period or fantasy romantic dramas, common name from both will be Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Sometime back, both RGV and SSR described themselves as fan of SLB and much of the war scenes in Baahubali are inspired from Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Yet, the techniques in making and creative promotional campaigns from Baahubali camp outsmarted all the Bollywood, Hollywood tradesmen.
B-town sources say, Baahubali 2 has set the new benchmark for epic grandeur in Indian films. So, Bhansali and his team currently in Padmavathi making are consulting Viacom 18 production partners for amplifying the grandiosity to a new level so that audience in no way will miss out Baahubali experience in their magnum opus. Accordingly, Padmavathi budget is hiked from 160 Crores to above 200 Crores. That’s the pressure Baahubali mounted on Mumbai producers.
