Rajamouli vs the Rest: Who Sets the Bar?

In the realm of Indian cinema, SS Rajamouli stands like Mount Everest—towering above all, challenging others to reach his dizzying heights. With every film he delivers, the stakes only get higher, as his projects are expected to pull in a jaw-dropping ₹1000 crore and beyond. Currently, Rajamouli is gearing up for his next magnum opus with Mahesh Babu, a project likely to begin filming next year and hit theaters no sooner than late 2027. This long wait has sparked a new conversation: who will dare to set a new benchmark for Rajamouli to conquer?

Social media is abuzz with predictions on which upcoming film might come close to Baahubali 2’s ₹1600+ crore global haul before Rajamouli’s next release. Eyes are on Pushpa 2, set to storm theaters this December, Spirit starring Prabhas and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and Kalki 2, which holds a realistic shot at crossing ₹1000 crore. Meanwhile, Bollywood’s ambitious Ramayan, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, is another strong contender. As the competition heats up, the question looms large—will any of these giants set a new financial target before Rajamouli arrives with his Mahesh Babu extravaganza?

For now, the consensus is that ₹1000 crore is just the starting line for Rajamouli. However, if any of these mega-productions manage to surpass ₹1200 or ₹1300 crore, it could raise the bar significantly. The stakes are high, and the anticipation is palpable.

But let’s face it—when it comes to box-office supremacy, Rajamouli isn’t just climbing mountains; he’s building them. So, while others huff and puff to the summit, he’s probably already sketching a spaceship to Mars!

Bunny Vas Overseeing Pushpa 2 Campaign?

There is no debating the fact that Pushpa 2 is one of the most anticipated pan Indian films in the making and it will be hitting the theaters in exactly week from today – 5th December. Allu Arjun is actively promoting the film now and he is going all out to keep the actioner in the news as long as he possibly can.

Bunny Vas, a leading producer in Tollywood and also a close friend of Allu Arjun is said to be monitoring the promotional campaign of Pushpa 2 along with Allu Arjun.

Apparently, Bunny Vas is right by Allu Arjun’s side all through the course of the promotional campaign and he is an integral part of the whole operation. He was seen by Bunny’s side in last night’s event in Kerala as well.

This morning, Bunny Vas tweeted “When day starts with him .. it’s very very special one. 🔥 Kudos” as he shared a pic of him alongside Allu Arjun and this pic is now going viral all over.
Allu Arjun is said to have entrusted Bunny Vas with the job of orchestrating such massive promotional campaigns in other states in a seamless manner. This is the reason why Bunny Vas is being given top priority, it seems. Considering the nature of the relationship that Bunny Vas shares with Bunny, he is fully happy to assist Bunny in the process, say reports.
