The
thunderous
success
of
Baahubali
series
has
elevated
SS
Rajamouli's
position
to
a
level
which
the
director
himself
would
never
have
thought
of.
He
is
now
a
brand
by
himself
and
any
producer
or
actor
would
be
willing
to
pay
a
bomb
or
fulfil
any
technical
requirement
respectively
of
the
director.
SS
Rajamouli,
a
brand
by
himself,
can
be
seen
as
a
method
director
who
trained
himself
over
the
years
in
order
to
chisel
out
an
artistic
product
called
Baahubali.
If
the
Baahubali
series
can
be
called
as
a
movie,
then
the
director's
Magadheera
could
be
termed
as
the
trailer
of
it.
Be
it
the
film-making
style,
screenplay
treatment
and
the
technical
involvement,
one
could
spot
a
glimpse
of
Baahubali
in
Magadheera.
The
2009
released
movie
went
on
to
become
an
all-time
industry
hit
in
Telugu
giving
super
stardom
status
to
Ram
Charan
Tej.
All
happened
well,
with
the
movie
clicking
big
time
at
the
BO,
producer
and
distributors
being
inundated
with
money
and
the
cast
&
crew
of
the
movie
making
it
big
in
the
industry.
However,
something
was
not
well
and
a
certain
friction
existed
between
the
producer
and
the
director
of
the
movie
which
was
recently
revealed
by
the
director,
SS
Rajamouli
himself
in
an
open
talk
show.
The
anchor
questioned
Rajamouli
about
his
discomfort
level
with
the
chairperson
of
the
Geetha
Arts
Production
House,
Allu
Arvind.
The
former
was
curious
to
know
whether
the
44-year-old
director
was
unhappy
with
Allu
Arvind
for
not
sharing
due
credit
of
the
movie's
success
and
the
director
quashed
the
rumour.
SS
Rajamouli
opened
up
by
acknowledging
that
the
credit
share
was
attributed
righteously
and
was
not
the
root
cause
of
the
issue.
However,
it
was
the
fake
records
which
bothered
him.
SS
Rajamouli,
who
as
well
had
called
the
shots
for
Jr.
NTR's
movie,
Simhadri,
was
said
to
be
a
trendsetter
of
sorts,
as
the
movie
had
completed
50,
100
&
175
days
in
maximum
number
of
centres
which
is
still
an
unbroken
record.
This
trend
paved
way
for
many
film-makers
and
lead
actors
who
started
endorsing
unaccounted
numbers
of
centres
for
the
said
milestone
days.
The
ace
director
claimed
to
have
requested
Allu
Arvind
to
put
an
end
to
this
false
prestigious
trend
which
was
as
well-accepted
by
the
producer
himself,
but
later
actioned
upon
in
an
opposite
manner
succumbing
to
fans' pressure.
This
flip
flop
stance
from
the
producer,
annoyed
the
Baahubali
director
and
had
decided
to
boycott
the
100
days
function
of
Magadheera.
Despite
persistent
request
and
invite
from
the
producer,
Allu
Arvind,
director
SS
Rajamouli,
declined
his
presence
for
the
function
as
the
latter
wanted
to
go
by
his
instincts
and
didn't
want
himself
to
endorse
a
false
accounting
to
the
public
and
fans.
