Bollywood won’t spend Rs 430 crore on a franchise

Baahubali 1 cost Rs 180 crore, while Baahubali 2 budget stood at Rs 250 crore. Now, if we see the money our biggest Bollywood filmmakers spend, no one can manage this heavy budget and translate it into opulence on the big screen. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is Rajamouli’s closest Bollywood counterpart, shelled out Rs 125 crore for Bajirao Mastani, his highest till date. We are sure even Padmavati won’t get any closer to Baahubali. Bollywood’s most expensive film till date is Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Rs 180 crore). Any splendid Bollywood flick in terms of its highest scale, mostly stays around Rs 150-170 crore. Does that mean you need serious confidence and conviction to pool in such a massive amount?

Bollywood actors cannot give five years of their life to one project

Prabhas did not sign another film in the past five years, when Baahubali 1 and 2 were being made. This was not just to maintain the continuity of his looks, but even to ensure that he stayed in character, lived it, breathed it… So when the two films came out, the audience did not see Prabhas the actor, but Amarendra Baahubali and Mahendra Baahubali. Cut to Bollywood and we have our Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan, who is known to work on only one film a year, sometimes in a year and a half too, to maintain his success rate. But ask him if he is ready to give five years to one project, and even he might refuse. Of course, because he would have given at least 4 films crossing Rs 200 crore each in the same time, but is it at par with the dedication Prabhas showed
