Taking a cue from what Telangana home minister Nayani Narasimha has said after watching "Baahubali" movie, many are now busy claiming that Baahubali belongs to Telangana native distributor Dil Raju as he got the right kind of publicity for the film to spin more money at box office. Not stopping there, some have found a link that a King named Baahubali used to live in Nizamabad area of Telangana state. But before anyone imprints this "regional" stamp on the film, read on this story.
Say, both producers Shobu and Prasad are from Andhra and the director Rajamouli is also an andhraite. Needless to say that Bhimavaram is the halo behind the film's leading star. That won't give them a chance to call "Baahubali" as product of Andhra. Because, a show stealer like Ramya Krishna and a brilliant performer like Anushka belongs to Tamilnadu and Karnataka respectively.
If we look at some other people who worked for the movie- Award winning production designer Sabu Cyril is a Malayali, while action director Peter Heins is a Vietnamese refugee settled in Chennai. The famous Rana-Bison fight sequence was animated by a Malaysia based studio where Chinese are said to be working. Don't forget to mention about the services rendered by Mumbai based Karan Johar to promote the film in Hindi circuits. If music was composed by Keeravani, then the folio for sound-recording was delivered by a Netherlands based engineer. We have seen a foreign stunt master and a VFX director working on Dheevara song in the making video. So is distributor Dil Raju who took the film to masses and arranged special shows for fans. We can't really pull out a single brick out of this mighty fort, could we?
When people from across the corners of globe worked for this mighty project that is underway to touch the never-heard 500 crore mark for a South Indian movie, it's better to enjoy the success collectively rather imparting regional credits to it. This is creative job, and it can't be regiona
