This proves to be the heights of expectation. It is known that SS Rajamouli is making mega budget venture ‘Bahubali’ in two parts. As per the sources from US trade circles, Rajamouli camp is quoting Rs 10 Cr for the overseas rights of ‘Bahubali’ (Part-1).
And it is obvious that the price will be separate for ‘Bahubali-2’ that comes in a one month gap. It is clearly the of ‘Rakta Charitra’ set by Ram Gopal Varma that is being followed by Rajamouli.
Well, but how many US exhibitors show interest to buy the first part and second part at such huge prices and release, is the biggest question. Amidst piracy where the HD quality print comes online within 3 days of release, will US Telugus come to theatres in such a number to make distributors recover Rs 10 Cr? And it takes two more years to see the film on screen.
If the overseas distributors jump ahead and purchase the film with their enthusiasm, then they may also have to bear the interest rates till film hits the screen. Keeping all these in mind, overseas distributors are in silence as of now.

Director S.S Rajamouli is often referred to as Mr Perfectionist and is known to be a tough task master. Yet he has a bad reputation for taking a long time to complete a project considering that he leaves no brick unturned. And there is no change in his style of functioning for his ongoing epic Baahuabli as well. Being shot in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously, the high-budget period drama is due for release in 2015 and this is common knowledge to everyone by now.
The latest buzz is that Rajamouli is going to shoot a single scene of Baahubali for two months. Going by the reports, it’s a crucial battle scene in the movie which requires 2000 junior artistes alongside the stellar cast. Already, the 2000 junior artistes have been trained in horse riding, sword fighting and arm-to-arm combats for over six months under the guidance of trainers from Vietnam. Action choreographer Peter Hein is conceiving this action sequence along with Jakkanna. VFX team is also working hard on this particular battle sequence.
Starting in December, the scene will be shot for about two months. Apparently, this scene requires lot of planning and preparation. It involves designing of war machinery, weapons, battle formations and hence, pre-visualization and concept art is going to play vital role. Qualified production designers are said to be in place already. Perhaps, this could be the first scene in Indian cinema to be shot this long. Rajamouli might take a long time, but never compromises on quality.
