`BAHUBALI` FROM BUDDHI BHALA OF SS RAJAMOULI!
Posted date: 06 Wed, Feb 2013 ? 02:15:32 PM

At the ‘Eega’ meet in Bangalore topnotch director SS Rajamouli in his address evinced interest in some of the topics of Karnataka history and culture.

Now we hear the title ‘Bahubali’ in Telugu from him starring ‘Prabhas, Rana and Anushka’! Wow! This is the biggest venture in Telugu cinema industry.

Meanwhile this has some relevance to Karnataka history like how SS Rajamouli touched on the folk tale of Karnataka ‘Karibantana Kalaga’ for his ‘Magadheera’ that was a bumper hit in his career.

Now ‘Bahubali’ title he has chosen has relevance to Karnataka history. As we understand it is contemporary style of making from SS Rajamouli. However ‘Bahubali’ is the story of Bharat and Bahubali were two of the sons of Bhagwaan Rishabh Dev, the first Theerthankara. When Bhagwaan Rishabh Dev renounced his kingdom, he gave a portion of it to each one of his sons - Bharat and Bahubali. What happens later on is the interesting plot of this film. Fulfillment of such desires cannot lead to peace of mind is the slogan that Bahubali carries after several rounds of fight against his brother Bharata. He renounces the kingdom and start on the path of true happiness. He goes for a penance. Thus becomes ‘Gommateshwara’ - colossal statue of Gommateshwar stands 58 ft 8 in on the hill Vindhyagiri at Shravanabelgola near Mysore. It is the tallest known monolithic statue in the world carved out of a single huge granite boulder.

Very intelligently SS Rajamouli cast in the Telugu film ‘Bahubali’ Prabhas and Rana the tall looking heroes. That has indirect reference to the tale of ‘Bahubali’ of Jainism.

What was supposed to happen in Kannada language is now happening in Telugu. ‘Bahubali’ was announced long ago (at the time of Gandugali Kumara Rama) by Dr Rajakumar family banner to cast power star Puneeth Rajakumar and Shivarajakumar in the Bharata and Bahubali roles. The ads were also published in this connection.

After ‘Eega’ director SS Rajamouli who undoubtedly gave new standing for Kannada super star Kichcha Sudeep has picked by Rana Daggubatti and Prabhas for the two roles of ‘Bharata and Bahubali’.

The tallest director in the ranking in South India SS Rajamouli casting two tallest heroes and tall heroine Anushka is a big worry for the cameraman. The portion of ‘Bharata and Bahubali’ has chilling action.
