The strong storyline and Rajamouli mark narration are its biggest assets and it is to be seen how they handle these in Hindi. Bellamkonda Srinivas has a huge craze in Hindi market as his dubbed films are getting hundreds of million views. Speaking about his debut, he said, ‘This is a perfect project for my big debut in Bollywood. It’s a great opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Gada and Pen Studios, and to be reunited with my first ever director VV Vinayak sir.
Although, taking on a role that Prabhas’ did is a huge responsibility, but I am glad I did, as it’s a perfect script.’
Hope the commercial hero and commercial director combination work wonders at the box-office.
