There have been constant comparisons between these directors who are known for their innovative filmmaking and grandeur. Though, during Baahubali promotions, Rajamouli declared that Shankar is far superior to him.
Having released simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam, the film grossed Rs 60 crore on the first day, making it the biggest opening for an Indian film. It has also become the fastest film to enter the 100 crore club.
Baahubali features Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannah Bhatia in the lead roles, while Sathyaraj, Nasser and Ramya Krishnan have essayed important roles.
Here is our review of the film.
