Bahubali released amidst unprecedented hype and expectations. This Rajamouli's folklore drama garnered the eyeballs nationwide with some mindboggling visual effects. Touted to be the India's biggest motion picture Bahubali raised so many expectations just because of Rajamouli's brand. With more than 150 crores riding on the film everyone is expecting nothing short of a classic out of it. Did Rajamouli deliver? Did Bahubali live up to the humongous expectations?

What is it about?

Ballaladeva (Rana), a cruel king is ruling the kingdom called Maahishmathi, where the people are tortured by his men. He takes Devasena (Anushka) as captive after killing her husband. Devasena lives with the hope that her son Shivudu (Prabhas) would return to put an end to the evil deeds of Ballaladeva. Grown up in a tribal area far away from Mahishmathi, Shivudu comes to rescue Devasena in order to fulfill the wish of his girlfriend Avantika (Tamanna). But people of Mahishmathi sees Baahubali (Prabhas) in him. Rest of the film is about Baahubali's past.

Performances:

Prabhas:

Prabhas played dual roles in this film and has worked hard to show the difference in his looks and physique. His lean and athletic build as Shivudu is superb and the bulky build to suit Bahubali character is phenomenal. This shows the dedication of the actor. His performance is good but should have worked a bit on the diction.

Rana:

Rana is a revelation in the role of Ballala Deva. He should consider himself lucky for bagging this role that has scope for exhibiting various emotions. He has done a superb job as the antagonist and surely one of the major plus points in this film.

Anushka and Tamanna:

Anushka has a limited screen time in this part but she made an impact with power packed performance. Tamanna plays the glam doll and she is alright.

Ramyakrishna and Others:

The standout performance in Bahubali - The Beginning comes from the ace actress Ramya Krishna, who just outshines everybody with her stellar act. Mamatala Talli song sequence shot on her is one of the best moments in this film. Satya Raj as Kattappa is good. Sudeep did a cameo. Sesh Adivi, Rohini and Tanikella Bharani are adequate.

Technicalities:

Rajamouli:

Rajamouli is perhaps the only Telugu director who always aims to push the envelope. A film of this scale wouldn't have been possible without a director like Rajamouli. His vision and imagination are instrumental in taking our cinema to whole new level in terms of technical brilliance. There are some magical 'Rajamouli' kind of moments in the film that masses would go frenzy. But the problem with Bahubali lies in its script that is unnecessarily stretched out. Rajamouli fails to get the emotions right in this film, might be because of the story being divided into two parts.

Keeravani:

Keeravani's music is just okay. There is nothing exceptional about it. Keeravani usually stores his best for Rajamouli's films. But he has hardly impressed in Bahubali even with the background score. Songs are alright but not as appealing as we expect them to be.

Senthil and Others:

Senthil's cinematography is splendid. He and art director Sabu have brought the imaginary world of Rajamouli to life. Visual effects are great. Probably the best ever in an Indian film. Action episodes are done well. Peter Haynes deserves a pat for his awesome work in that breathtaking war episode. Producers have a big heart and nerves of steel for sure. A project like Bahubali needs passionate producers and Rajamouli is lucky to find these gentlemen.

Analysis:

Baahubali - The Beginning delivers what it promises. It is a visual feast with the art, camera and vfx departments working hand in hand. Bahubali is truly a few notches above regular movies. It has maintained world class standards in terms of visual effects. This movie deserves a watch just for the hard work of the passionate team and also for those stunning visuals.

Sadly there is nothing more to Bahubali besides the visual extravaganza. It has a beaten to death revenge plot that has been stretched out with some absolutely ridiculous scenes that doesn't help the movie in anyway. For instance Avanthika and Shivudu's romantic track is pretty lame and seems out of place. The movie takes an eternity to engage the viewers. Lackluster screenplay has to be blamed for it. We get to see the real Rajamouli's stamp only towards the interval sequence.

One would expect the film to raise the bar after Baahubali enters the scene. There is nothing that would connect with the audience as it seems like the director is passing time to end this so that he could have enough content for second part. War episode is visually wonderful but it is overlong and seems clumsy after a while. The biggest gripe of Baahubali is its abrupt ending that was inevitable. Rajamouli the genius filmmaker should have come up with far more pleasing climax so that the audience would have left the theaters with a satisfied feeling. A lot will depend upon how the masses react to this ending.

To put it bluntly Bahubali is Rajamouli's weakest script to date! However it is visually mind-boggling that we could excuse some of its shortcomings. Wish Rajamouli comes up with a packed script in the second part. On the box office front, Bahubali - The Beginning will surely shatter the records irrespective of its weak points.

123+ crores are needed to declare Baahubali as a Super Hit

The craze speaks for itself. But there is prodigious hard work that produced such a hype as the feast of visuals offered by "Baahubali" are just impeccable. This hard work however demanded a stunning business of 123+ crores in the form of theatrical rights and what happens to his investment is something we will know in the coming days. 

Unofficial trade reports indicate that the whole Telugu theatrical rights for Andhra, Telangana and Overseas are sold out for nearly 91 crores by "Baahubali" producers. Tamil rights are shelled for 15 crores for Tamilnadu state alone while Tamil overseas distributors doled out nearly 4 crores for the rights. Hindi market though helped double the craze for the project, we hear that the theatrical rights fetched only 11 crores. Rajamouli's Malayalam entry is picked by 3 crores nearly by Mallu distributors. All in all, nearly 123 crores has to be recovered through 'shares' from the first part of "Baahubali", say trade analysts. 

Apart from the 123 crore theatrical rights, we have satellite rights sold out already. Sources revealed that Telugu satellite fetched nearly 13 crores, while Tamil went for 8-10 crores and Hindi too fetched similar price. It's surprising that Hindi and Tamil folks have paid similar price for theatricals and satellite. Including all these figures, we have to say that nearly 155+ crores business has happened around this magnum opus. 

Apart from scoring a blockbuster, the movie has to run consistently without opposition to pull every distributor and other businessmen to shores. Herculean task ahead. 

Only 30 - 40 page document for Baahubali

As the D-day coming closer to SS Rajamouli's masterpiece Baahubali and it's only three days left for its world-wide release, the auteur of visual wonders like Eega, Magadheera shares more about the magnum opus film which was under making for three-long years. Reacting to critic Rajeev Masand's compliment that he is visual story teller, Rajamouli said, "Not just in Eega, I try to convey as little as possible through dialogue in all my films. I'm firm believer that visual speaks more than dialogue. I try not to put story in dialogue. Dialogue is only there to convey very little. In fact, the whole dialogue script of Baahubali is 30-page or 40-page document. The film is more driven on emotion."

Talking about overcoming the obstacle of star presence, Rajamouli said, "I understand the stamina of having a star in the film. I've worked with stars on several projects. Having said that, even content is equally important. How many films were hit in Hindi in the last one year and how many of them were star-hero films? If you observe closely, most are content-based movies."

Rajamouli said that he has been wanting to make a Hindi film and he said he'd associate with Karan Johar for that project as well. "We're glad to associate with Karan Johar for Baahubali I and II. I hope to associate with him for my Hindi project as well."

Allu Arvind: special code printed as a watermark on the film "Baahubali"

Leading producer Allu Arvind has taken huge initiative of helping our "Baahubali" to crack whip on piracy doers.

In a candid revelation, the mega producer revealed how they got a Court order to control the Internet service providers in the case of a piracy. Praising the piracy cell heads and police, Arvind mentioned that they will bring all the perpetrators to justice in case if they catch any piracy prints of Baahubali doing rounds. 

"More than anyone, theatre owners should take care of this piracy. If anyone shoots a film with a camera in any particular theatre, we would know about it immediately because of the special code printed as a watermark on the film", he says, adding on more biggest punch. "If we find any theatre itself involving in this piracy scam, no doubt that theatre will be banned for one year from screening films". Also Arvind mentioned the need for all Telugu people to take care of Baahubali, because it is the most prestigious film for Telugus. Seems like Arvind is taking all the burden to safeguard Baahubali from the crows that want to eat it away. 

"It might sound bit exaggerated, but I'm in all senses to say, 'watching a film in piracy is like slashing mother's breast to sip milk. Don't do that" said Aravind. On the other hand, Rajamouli requested everyone to help them curb piracy. "Including theatres where piracy prints are being shot, all are members of film industry only. So, help us prevent piracy", Rajamouli said. 

When will Rajamouli - Mahesh film start its shooting

When there is some small news, it gets exaggerated, decorated, inflated and finally blown out of proportions. Same thing happened with Rajamouli-Mahesh movie, as our creative director revealed an interesting thing the other day. While his revelation is just what was supposed to happen, people have written everything to everything from story to possible heroine of this flick. Not even giant media houses have tried to look into the bottom of Rajamouli's revelation.

The TRUTH:

When a noted Tamil journalist questioned Rajamouli, "Will you work with Mahesh?" for which our director replied, "Why not?" and then explained that they are supposed to work long back. In film industry it is common for many producers to give advance amounts to happening directors and heroes such that they will get their dates in the future quite easily. According to Rajamouli, he signed similar agreement with senior producer KL Narayana to make a movie with Mahesh. "Me and Mahesh are supposed to work for KL Narayana, but somehow we both are busy with our own commitment", said Rajamouli.

The INTERPRETATION:

This is now interpreted in almost all the media houses that Rajamouli is likely to work with Mahesh Babu after Baahubali is completed. Everyone has blown the things out of proportion saying that Mahesh okayed Rashi Khanna as a heroine for this subject and then he picked the story of a criminal lawyer for this film. It is being written that Mahesh is keen to wrap up his Brahmotsavam and finish another flick under Puri's direction such that he could start working on Rajamouli's film.

This is the plight of our media. Producer KL Narayana isn't making movies these days after he tasted huge flop with NTR's Rakhee. He is seen as presenter for Arya 2 and then not much production is happening from his side. Cine exeprts says, if KL Narayana seriously wants to pull a film with Mahesh and Rajamouli, it would have happened already. 

Rajamouli: no Surya in Baahubali part 2

The Baahubali storm is fast approaching as the film is all set to hit the screens on the 10th of July amidst humongous hype. Even before the film’s release and the shooting for the second part was commenced, rumors of Tamil star Suriya being a part of Baahubali’s second part did several rounds in the media and got the fans excited.

However, Rajamouli finally cleared the air and said that Suriya is not a part of the film’s second part. With this, the rumors will have to come to an end. So far, nearly 40 per cent of Baahubali’s second part’s shooting has been completed and the unit will start shooting once again once Baahubali The Beginning releases.

Ticket cost of Baahubali Benefit show : Rs 4000 - Rs 8000

Only four more days left to witness the grand fireworks of India's biggest motion picture, Baahubali. The hype and craze around the film is phenomenal and the film, due to its release in record number of theaters in the Telugu states, ROI and in the US, is expected to shatter all the existing box-office records. Meanwhile, the advance bookings for the film have already begun and needless to say that the tickets are being sold like hotcakes.

On the other hand, numerous benefit shows are being held post the midnight on the 10th July. The first ever benefit show will be held in a Hyderabad based theater and the tickets are being sold at unbelievable prices. As per the buzz, the tickets are priced between Rs 4000 to Rs 8000 for this show and this still did not deter the craze among the fans, who are not thinking twice to buy the tickets and become the first lucky ones to watch the film.

Along with this craze, coming in a lot of criticism that the distributors are cashing in on the craze and that they are looting the excited fans. While it is understandable that the distributors, who bought the film's theatrical rights at exorbitant prices, wish to recover their investments by all means, selling the tickets at such huge prices is something the film lovers cannot fathom. Apart from the benefit shows in Hyderabad, talks are on in Karnataka to double the ticket pricing in the first week of Baahubali's release.

Prabhas need to be focused and energetic

Rumor mills are abuzz that Prabhas is going to do another movie before commencing shoot for Bahubali 2. However Prabhas cleared the air by saying that he has Bahubali 2 on the top of the priority list. Prabhas will take a brief break until September and will start shooting for Bahubali 2. He will not do any other projects in between.

Prabhas said that forty percent of the shoot for Bahubali 2 is already complete. He doesn't want to shift focus from Bahubali until he is done with the entire work. Prabhas said that other projects can wait as Bahubali needs him to be focused and energetic all the time. Rajamouli thought of completing the shooting part for both the volumes but was forced to release the first part as the makers ran into shortage of funds.

Rajamouli is making plans to release Bahubali 2 in July 2016, exactly a year after the first part hits the screens. He is planning to release it even bigger depending upon the response for the first part. Prabhas and Rajamouli will not move on to their next projects until they are done with the magnum opus.

Making video of Baahubali surprised everyone

Cinema lovers are always enthusiastic to see the behind the scenes videos of any film. Frankly speaking, Telugu movies haven't come up with brilliant making videos where we got to see the key technicians and actors talking about the film, giving insights and sharing experiences. Always our making videos are like shots compiled from on-location videos, but never any insightful.

Somewhat director Shankar's making videos of Robo and I are quite stunning as he gives details of what went to developing characters and on location to post production. But most of his making videos lack universal appeal as the speakers used Tamil language all the time. Fixing all these issues, Rajamouli has come up with a fantastic making video, where his technicians talk in English and they share every single of each crucial character and aspect of the movie.

To start with, Team Baahubali released "Sivudu" making video where Rajamouli, Prabhas and writer KV Rajendra Prasad share their experiences only in English. Not just Telugu audiences, but other state people in India and people from other countries will now feel happy to watch these videos for their universal appeal.

Rajamouli: Mahesh is a Gentleman, he hasn't lost his coll

"It's not that we've feared Srimanthudu or Baahubali has scared Mahesh Babu like some foolish people are asking. It's for the well being of film industry. It's so gracious of Srimanthudu to go back", says Rajamouli, responding on the discussion going on in film circles as to why Srimanthudu has dropped from the race and got postponed to a new date.

Though makers of Srimanthudu have given enough clarity that they are requested by Baahuabali makers to give breathing space for the magnum opus, critics are not ready to believe. Owing to the request, Srimanthudu got pushed to August 7th from July 17th as Baahubali is hitting screens on July 10th.

"There was never like a fight or anything between Baahubali and Srimanthudu as heard in the media. We're always discussing about placement of these two flicks quite carefully such that no one will get loss. In case if Srimanthudu has come first, then we would have opted for a postponement", Rajamouli claims. He expressed uneasiness over media repeatedly asking even Mahesh Babu if he has feared and postponed his flick. "Despite media asking such questions, Mahesh is a thorough gentleman and he hasn't lost his cool despite of these silly questions. He spoke truth", the magnum opus maker added.

Talking about how results are going to affect anyone in industry, he asserts, "If these two movies perform well at box office, or too films are bad, or one among them is good and other one is bad, finally both the films will have to enjoy or suffer. Because years of hard work and crores of rupees are at stake". We do agree Rajamouli!! 

Sivagami holds the nerve

Yet another powerful dialogue teaser has come from 'Baahuabli' now. Earlier we have heard to Prabhas uttering the words 'Nenu Evaru' and 'Jai Mahismathi' in his trademark style as the King Baahuabli. Later there is Rana coming up with an interesting one-liner from the movie. Finally it's the turn of Ramya Krishna, the powerful Sivagami, King's mother of Mahismathi kingdom.

It's a thunderous response from fans for the dialogue uttered by Ramya Krishna aka Sivagami in the new short-teaser of Baahubali: The Beginning. 'Eella Thirugubaatutho, Mahishmathiki Makili Pattindhi... Raktamtho Kadigey', she says quite vehemently. Going by the trailer we have to say that these dialogues ignite the spark in Sivudu to lead a big revolt on the ruling class of his kingdom. As Rajamouli calls her the epitome of justice, people are imagining quite positive side of Ramya's character. If thought otherwise, we could say Sivagami is on Ballaladeva's side. Her words also sound like an order to her own men to cleanse the revolution being led by Sivudu.

Whether it is positive or negative, Sivagami holds the nerve. Wait for July 10th to feel the vibes. 

Baahubali team clarifies rumors on Japanese release

The hype surrounding the India's biggest ever motion picture, Baahubali, has reached its pinnacle and the film is making loud noises even in the foreign shores, with several international magazine featuring special articles about the film. Of late, several reports have been doing the rounds which said that Baahubali will be released in Japan and that too with subtitles.

Here comes the twist. Baahubali team has finally clarified that the news of the film's Telugu and Tamil versions releasing in Japan is totally false and that neither the makers nor the overseas distributors sold the Japanese theatrical rights to any distributors in Japan. Baahubali team also cautioned its fans to be aware of such reports doing the rounds in social media.

Several posts about the leading Japanese distribution company Celluloid Japan releasing the Tamil film with English subtitles have been circulating for the last few days and the reports reached the Baahubali makers and they quickly denied the reports. Since Rajamouli's Eega created a lot of buzz in China, craze for Baahubali will naturally rise in the top Asian countries.

Mahesh: If something happens to Baahubali, we too will get affected

"When a film like Baahubali is arriving, it's healthy to maintain 3-4 weeks gap for the next release. For that reason we've postponed Srimanthudu, but not that there is any fear", explains Mahesh Babu, regarding the reason his next release Srimanthudu got pushed to August 7th from July 17th.

Furthermore, Mahesh stated that only if Baahubali scores a hit, even his film will score healthily. "We all praying for blockbuster success of Baahubali. That film should click at box office. If something happens to it, we too will get affected", he added. Talking more about the magnum opus, Mahesh said, "We should all feel proud about Baahubali is such magnanimous film being made in Telugu industry. It's a wonderful movie". 

With these revelations, even Mahesh Babu has joined the gang of admirers of this magnum opus, ranging from Rajnikanth to Amitabh Bachan. Undoubtedly, the gap given by Mahesh for Baahubali would help the film fetch huge numbers at box office. 

Rumors on Hunk Hero Prabhasm made Rajamouli stronger

There is a limitation for anything, including gossips and rumour generation.

Even a tough taskmaster like Rajamouli got shaken by unwanted writings about Baahubali, gossips about its actors and other trash. All of a sudden, he stopped reacting about gossips and became rock-strong. Wow, what led to that situation finally? Has he taught himself to handle rumour world or gave up on them?

"When Baahubali is in initial stages, first rumours have come about Prabhas' injury. Me and my team used to suffer emotionally while reading such. I used to get frustrated and shout on persons who have written and where it is published. One day, a peak of stage gossip helped me relax, because it taught me there is no need to react", said Rajamouli. So, what's that?

"They wrote Prabhas is in coma. At that time he is around us. Then our team has decided to not worry and react about gossips, because those who write them don't even think how other persons are feeling about it. I thought there is no need to react and feel about such insane stuff", he added.

Cine experts say that if this is Hollywood, definitely those who have written health bulleting about Prabhas might have got sued. 

Rajamouli thanked Big B

It's raining praises for Baahubali. Joining the bandwagon is none other than Bollywood's mega star and India's legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. Even before the release of trailer of Baahubali, actor Rana Daggubati managed to show the trailer to Amitabh Bachchan and the Zanjeer star's response to it is 'amazing', 'astonishing' and 'unimaginable'. In a Tete-a-tete with Rana, Amitabh called Baahubali an 'incredible work' and praised Rajamouli as 'renowned talent'.

'Rana I feel very privileged to seen this first look of Baahubali. And I'm absolutely amazed, astounished at how you have been able to recreate this. Magnificent visuals, am sure the story is equally good. You're working with Rajamouli. He is such a renowned talent. How did you conceive something like this. It's just imaginable,' shared Amitabh as his first-reaction soon after watching the trailer.

Rana told, 'The film was shot for close to 400 days. The last action piece you've seen was shot for 120 days alone. We went and fought for 120 days.'

Amitabh, 'My goodness, this is unbelievable. I feel very small in front of something like this. It's a great effort. I doubt anything like this has been seen on Indian Cinema before. I hope millions and millions of people would see this effort. Normally, we see these kind of structures, frame work is seen in one of the progressive Hollywood cinema. I believe this was all shot in Hyderabad. I feel very happy and honoured to be part of Industry that's inventing this fantastic material. I'm happy the film is dubbed in Hindi and being made in Tamil, Telugu. All the best Rana. I wish Rajamouli Ji all the very best and the people connected with it. I've never seen anything like this before. Now I feel I should have been in this project. Each time I see astonishing work, I feel envious. I wish I was part of this project.'

Sharing the video, Rajamouli wrote, 'A big thanks to Amitabh Bachchan ji for his kind words... The team is still in shock from hearing the praises for Baahubali. It is very encouraging to hear such wonderful things about our work from one of the greatest legends of Indian cinema!' 

Rajamouli: Wishes his father

Maverick filmmaker SS Rajamouli is proud of his father Vijayendra Prasad who is a well-known story writer. The latest is Vijayendra Prasad is working for Salman Khan starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Since the film is one of the most awaited films of 2015 and it's cynosure of all eyes, naturally, Rajamouli is proud of his father and buoyed with the reception to the film's just-released trailer. 

Sharing the trailer of Salman Khan starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Rajamouli wrote on his social networking page Facebook, "A very proud moment for me, my father, Vijayendra Prasad garu has written the story for Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan which is touted to be a blockbuster hit. Wishing the team all the best for the film!"

Although Vijayendra Prasad's work (Vikramarkudu) was remade in Hindi (Rowdy Rathore) and he was credited for the same, but this is for the first-time he's directly associated with a Bollywood project. Given that his dad is going places, naturally Rajamouli is happy. If reports are to be believed, Rajamouli is also eyeing at Bollywood post the release of two parts of his epic Baahubali. Like father, like son. 

Reason behind "Srimanthudu" Postpone

The moment "Srimanthudu" producer announced that they are shifting the release date of their film from July 17th to August 7th, a section of critics and trade experts have started blaming them of telling lies. Some big trade pundits and media folks shared that "Srimanthudu" moved a step back only because of pressure from distributors of movie.

"Srimanthudu distributors wanted to back out from the release if the producers don't change release date. That's why Mahesh's makers have postponed. Pushing the blame on Baahubali producers is silly", said a trade expert, after listening to Mythri Makers producers. This triggered a sort of war online with Mahesh fans expressing their displeasure over the happenings and Prabhas fans claiming that 'Mahesh feared Baahubali'. Not anymore, because producer Shobhu Yarlagadda spoke himself to clarify what has happened.

"Baahubali release date is not only compelled by post production works but also by our buyers and distributors across four languages", said Shobhu, explaining why they are sticking to July 10th. Coming to Srimanthudu date shift issue, he said, "I met Srimanthudu producers some time back and explained our situation. I requested them to consider moving their release date if possible. We thank Srimanthudu Producers, Director and Mahesh Babu for understanding and maintaining a healthy relationship in the industry". That explains what has really happened.

This postponement and Shobu's clarification is neither Prabhas fans victory nor Mahesh fans victory. Egos of fans don't collect 100s of crores for a movie, but proper placement, date and release will fetch returns on the investment. Good job, Baahubali and Srimanthudu teams!! 

Karan planning Grand premiere for Baahubali Hindi version

As the release date is nearing soon, the makers of Baahubali are leaving no stone unturned in promoting their flick. It is a known fact that renowned director Karan Johar is presenting the film in Hindi and he is making special plans for a grand première on the 9th of July.

According to our close sources, the entire star cast of the film along with stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan will be gracing this event. Baahubali is the first Telugu film which has created such a hype all over the country.

Directed by the genius S S Rajamouli, this film has Prabhas, Rana Dagguatti, Anushka and Tamannah in lead roles. M M Keeravani composes the music.

Popular Tamil lyricist behind Baahubali's kiliki language

During the audio launch of Baahubali, actor Prabhakar, who played the Kalakeya warlord in the film, uttered a few dialogues that sounded alien and yet scary. The language, named as ‘Kiliki’, was unusual and was never heard before and immediately drew all the attention. Popular Tamil lyricist and dialogue writer, Madhan Karky, is the man who invented the language.

In a recent interview, Madhan revealed a few interesting facts behind the invention of Kiliki. Apparently, Madhan invented the language when Rajamouli wanted a ‘powerful and a raw language that incites fear’. For the language, Madhan invented 750 words with 40 grammar rules and even prepared several reference documents, which were used by the interpreters to explain the meaning to the actors during the shoot.

The young lyricist also used to record certain dialogues in Kiliki and send it to the shooting crew, since certain dialogues were difficult to understand and pronounce. Madhan also promises that the final impact of the language, when spoken by the Kalakeya tribes, will be quite frightening. Apparently, the Kiliki language has been used for all the four versions, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi, in which the film would be releasing.

Prabhas: He doesn't mind hit or flop

Leave 'Baahubali' aside, but how did the first meet between Rajamouli and Prabhas happened? More than talking about the magnanimity of the movie, our hero spoke at large about what he thought about Rajamouli after their first meet and there after. 

'Though Student No.1 is a hit, I'm not impressed about it. I conveyed the same to Rajamouli and rejected the idea of working together. But when Simhadri released, i'm shell shocked. That movie is a stunner and I felt embarrassed to meet Rajamouli again. I felt he will never work with me again because I rejected him initially. But Rajamouli is so great that he offered me his next, saying that he doesn't mind the hit or flop status of the then unreleased Varsham', said Prabhas. 

Post that incident, we know how Prabhas and Rajamouli collaborated on Chatrapathi and now with Baahubali everything became a history. 'Rajamouli said I'm his soulmate. But I'm not upto such mark. He is a very great person, I'm not that great', maintains Prabhas, in his simple tone and posture.
