Rajamouli might not have faced this sort of pressure earlier. He is facing with 'Badrinath'. You may wonder what the connection is.
Allu and Co is projecting 'Badrinath' as second highest grosser. Although the Press Notes are coming out frequently no one believes.
Hence Allu Aravind is thinking to make this announcement through Rajamouli. It is known that Keeravani scored music for Badrinath and Rajamoilu is Keeravani's close relative.
Keeping all this point of view Allu Aravind is thinking to invite Rajamouli in next Press Meet and ask him to announce figures and say that it's on par with 'Magadheera'.
We have to see how Rajamouli escapes from this lying trap. People are not ready to believe anyway. Rajamouli loses his credibility with this.
