The mighty Baahubali storm has not slowed down despite the stiff competition from Salman’s Eid blockbuster Bajarangi Bhaijaan. Both the films’ are in a close competition to edge past the other film. One man who is a common link between the two films is the star story writer Vijayendra Prasad. While the 72-year old writer penned story for Baahubali, he was credited for providing original story and screenplay for Bajarangi Bhaijaan.
Popular international magazine Forbes has now featured a special article on Vijayendra Prasad, a rare honour for India writers. The Forbes Contributor Rob Cain even equaled Baahubali’s war sequences to that of Hollywood’s epic socio fantasy film, Lord of the Rings trilogy. Talking about Vijayendra Prasad’s pen’s might in drafting the emotional drama in Bajarangi Bhaijaan, the Forbes said that the writer “brilliantly explored the themes of love and devotion, of prejudices across castes, religions, and political boundaries”.
Interestingly, on being asked how he could write to stories that talked about epic war, betrayal and violence in Baahubali and the gentle, non-violent story for Bajarangi Bhaijaan, Vijayendra Prasad replies to Forbes, “After you eat a sweet, don’t you like to eat something salty too?”
