Right now, superstar Mahesh is said to be very angry. Well, naturally, the next question would be who is he angry about? So the story from Film Nagar is that Mahesh terribly miffed with the unit of Baahubali. And here is the story.
If you have been following news, then you will know that Baahubali was slotted for release in May. So, the team of Koratala Siva’s Sreemanthudu decided that they will give Baahubali a month’s gap and decided to release their film in July or on July 17 to be more precise.
Since both their films are big, they felt that a month’s gap would be appropriate. Now, suddenly, Rajamouli has announced that he would be releasing Baahubali on July 17. And that’s precisely the reason why Mahesh is said to be really angry right now.
Naturally, his feelings are totally understood. Had Rajamouli announced the same some time back, then Mahesh would have pushed the film to May. Now, it will become a prestige issue and Koratala Siva and Mahesh will have to stick to July just to prove a point.
Prestige apart, releasing simultaneously will mean cut in revenues to both parties involved as the buyers will shell out huge amounts for both the films.
If both of them release with a gap, both of them will mint money at the box office. However, now it remains to be seen who will back off by July.
