For the last couple of days, Baahubali team is extensively promoting the film’s Hindi version in Mumbai. While the Hindi presenter Karan Johar is strict with his promotional strategies, Baahubali team seems to be going the extra mile, given the fact that the promotional campaign is yet to begin in Telugu.

However, it is the statements being given by the Baahubali’s lead actors Prabhas and Rana that are surprising everyone slightly. Speaking to the press couple of days ago, Rana said that Baahubali is a story of two brothers fighting for the kingdom’s throne. And yesterday, it was Prabhas’ turn to surprise the fans even further. In his words, Prabhas said that he plays two roles, Baahubali and Shivudu his son.

Well, just these small revelations were enough for enthusiastic fans who have started to match them with the tentative story that was ‘leaked’ a week ago, Prabhas and Rana play the roles of estranged brothers who fight for powers over Mahishmati Kingdom. Rana then gets Baahubali killed in a conspiracy and his son is rescued by a villager played by Rohini. The child grows up to become Shivudu, who in turn fights for his father’s dream.

After collecting nearly 145 crores at the Indian box-office and earning more than 82 crore profit with a profit percentage of more than 250% with the film Tan Weds Manu Returns, all eyes have been cast on the film’s distribution house, Eros International. Trade analysts can’t stop raving about the acumen with which Eros claimed its success in Bollywood. However, things are totally opposite down south for Eros.

There was a time when the film trade used to comment that whichever Telugu and Tamil film the leading production and distribution house, Eros International, touches will turn into ashes and unfortunately, it used to be the final result. Unlike in north, Eros’ journey in south has been excruciatingly disastrous with almost all the film biting the dust.

After a tumultuous entry into the southern film scene with Suriya’s Brothers, Eros entered Telugu and continued its disastrous streak with Superstar Mahesh Babu’s 1 Nenokkadine and Aagadu. And again in Tamil, the double nightmares haunted Eros with yet another Superstar, Rajinikanth, in Kochadaiiyaan and Lingaa. And in 2015, within just 1 month, Eros bagged to washouts in Uttama Villain and Suriya’s Masss.

While all the films they worked with in south had huge stars and top directors and humongous story setups, Eros seemed to have learnt its mistake and dealt with a simple romantic entertainer in Tanu Weds Manu Returns and struck gold. Looks like Eros discovered success in being simple and successful. Will it apply the same policy in south?

Affairs in the film industry are quite common and hence nobody takes them quite seriously. Of late, there have been rumors that Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor are getting married and that their respective parents have given the green signal as well.

The same is being said of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. In the past, Ranbir Kapoor was in a relationship with Deepika whereas Katrina was seeing Salman Khan. Both the relationships failed the test of time.

Hence, the public is justified in being skeptical about the latest rumors regarding the marriages of Ranbir-Katrina and Deepika-Ranveer.

Each day a new rumour comes out about Baahubali. It is being said that the first half has been changed a bit and it has been edited accordingly.

Apparently, according to original script, Prabhas’s role was of a shorter duration and that it was not as important as the audience might have liked it. So, the scenes shot for the second half are being added to the first half and the script is being changed accordingly.

There is another rumour doing rounds in Tollywood. Many are wondering if Baahubali is being made in keeping with the image of Prabhas or Rana. In fact, in Tirupati, during the audio release function, there were more flexis of Rana than Prabhas.

Also, Rana has been given more prominence while promoting the film. Well, it is obvious that there will be many rumours when it is a huge project. Else, there wouldn’t much hype for the film, isn’t it.
