Maverick Director Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali is gearing up for release shortly. The film was supposed to release on May 15th, but it is pushed to later due to the delay in post production work.
Buzz from the film circles says that the film might release in July or August. Rajamouli, who confirmed that Baahubali would be ready by May 15th hasn’t announced any new date yet.
There is a strong buzz in the industry that Baahubali will release on July 31st. Rajamouli’s Magadheera was released on the same day six years ago and went on to become the biggest ever hit in Tollywood history.
Looks like team Bahubali is targeting the date as a sentiment. Interestingly most of the biggest hits of Telugu Cinema were released in July.
Baahubali will have an earth shattering release in three languages (Hindi, Telugu and Tamil) at a time. So the makers are making sure of not clashing with biggies in Bollywood and Kollywood as the film is sold for high rates in respective industries.
Trade circles predict that this would be the first Telugu film to collect a distributor share of Hundred Crores.
