Rajamouli Shocker About Baahubali

He said he film was initially labelled "Indian cinema's biggest disaster", leaving the team convinced that their careers were over.

Sobhu said "After a few days, the per-day cost went up to ₹25 lakh or even more. Our four-day war sequence alone could have funded an entire small film 12 years ago. We were spending around ₹1 crore every four days,"

Rajamouli added "We couldn't depend on the Telugu states alone to recover our investment. We were banking on the film working across multiple languages to ensure it became profitable,"

Sobhu recalled "On the day of the release of Part One, we still had a deficit of ₹70 crore. What we had spent, minus what we had recovered, left us ₹70 crore in the red,"
