Ram Gopal Varma Speaks on Baahubali 2:
Commenting on this, in an interview sensational director and filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma said Baahubali set a very high benchmark for Tollywood films after its mind-blowing success at box office. RGV said Baahubali 2 will collect double collection than Baahubali 1.
“One major effect of Bahubali will be that every coming big film of every big hero will look like a small low budget film. Bahubali proves that a concept attached to a star will make the film much more bigger which Hollywood realised decades back Bahubali shud be a wake up call to all stars to look beyond themselves to become bigger,” he added.
The second part is likely to be sold at Rs 160 and Rs 180 crores. While Part 1 overseas rights have been sold at Rs 9 crores, Part 2 will be sold at Rs 20 crores say the makers. Well, this clearly shows the kind of demand the film has both in India and abroad.
