The whole of Hollywood is also talking about Rajamouil’s magnum opus “Baahubali”. For the 250 crores budget involved, Hollywood media is now going gaga about this film as a $40 million two part warrior epic that is set to hit India and the world.
As Hollywood media talks about Baahubali, they stated how Bollywood has overshadowed Tamil and Telugu industries though the total budgets pooled in by these two southern tinsel towns are also at par with Hindi movies.
A leading American portal of movies went on saying that Bollywood accounted to $565 million revenues in 2013, while Telugu and Tamil together have pooled up around $468 millions. But how come all these figures are upsetting the Telugus, the original audiences of this magnum opus?
Whenever a Hollywood media is writing about Baahubali, they are either mentioning the movie as a Tamil film getting released in Hindi and Telugu, or a film that has Tamil stars like Prabhas and Rana.
Who will be correcting these ‘small’ errors they may look like for the magnitude of the film but hurts Telugu people big time? Sad thing is that even the neighbourhood Mumbai writes that Prabhas, Anushka and Tamanna as Tamil stars.
“Despite giving so many remakes to Bollywood where they cashed them with 100s of crores, still Hindi media feels that South cinema means Tamil. Someone has to take a step forward and create a new brand identity for Telugu films immediately first in Mumbai and then speak about Los Angeles“, a fan commented on a social networking site.
After huge backlash from Telugu fans on the website of this Hollywood portal, finally the editors have corrected “Baahubali” as a Telugu movie, and mentioned Prabhas and Rana as Telugu Superstars.
