Rajamouli Reacts On Being Called A 'Copy Cat', Also Check Out Copied Scenes Of Baahubali

Rajamouli is often alleged for copying scenes from Hollywood films and there were many shots that he has highly been inspired from other language films and short movies.

Baahubali too faced the ire right from the first poster that released, which featured a baby in hand. It was alleged to be copied from Simon Brich, a Hollywood movie poster.

But he neither reacted on the comments nor tried to justify his acts. Apparently, talking to a news channel in an open talk, he finally explained the reasons behind drawing inspirations all the time.

He even revealed that some of the scenes of Katappa were inspired from Changez Khan film. "Since few images were stuck in my mind forever, i want them to use in my films if it suits the scene and helps in elevate the mood.

"I'm not saying i don't copy, but everything i do is not a copy, sometimes there were strange co-incidences that stunned me too.", he further added.
