Rajamouli Wanted To Sell Property After Baahubali!

While it might be a funny reminiscing incident, now, it can be primarily noted that Baahubali open to mixed to negative reviews in the Telugu states and its opening day. The film was largely looked down upon by the native Telugu audience for the first day as the expectations were pretty high.

However, the film picked up over the weekend and created history and Indian cinema by becoming the highest grossing film till that point. It is still one of the iconic films in Telugu cinema, and there is no debating this fact.

However, the latest communication from Rajamouli is that not everything went smoothly for this film right from the word go.

Now, on the occasion of Baahubali: The Beginning completing 10 years since its release, he shared his experiences from those days. He said that after the premieres back then, the mixed talk that came in caused a lot of tension.

With the movie releasing with a deficit of Rs. 20 crores, he was so worried about the producer incurring losses that he even thought of selling his assets to protect him.

He also mentioned that a journalist editing a Baahubali scene and posting it jokingly in a WhatsApp group added to the family's tension. But Rajamouli, standing firm with confidence in the content, ultimately achieved blockbuster success and created history.

This shows the artistic integrity, and also the financial discipline that Rajamouli followed as he wanted to compensate the producer in case things went bad. This is the kind of dedication and passion that sets him apart from the rest of the directors.
