SS Rajamouli’s grand film Baahubali 2 has already shattered many records at the Indian as well as the Global Box Office; everyone is very impressed with each and everything related to Baahubali 2; moreover, in just 23 days, it has crossed a whopping 1500 crores. Looks as if Anil Sharma, the director of Gadar is not at all happy with Baahubali 2 and the records that it has broken.
Well, he has compared Gadar with Baahubali 2 and has said that the latter has not created any records; according to Sharma, Gadar, the Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer was a bigger hit.
Anil Sharma was attending the mahurat function of Genius, his son Utkarsh’s debut movie, and when a journalist asked him about Baahubali 2’s success, he said,
“Please don’t frame me in all these things. If some good film comes, records would be broken. And as far as Bahubali 2 is concerned, it has not yet set any record.”
Further, he said that his film Gadar had already earned 5000 crores. Want to know how? Anil gave an explanation for that too; he said,
“As mentioned, Gadar had done a business of Rs 265 crore in 2001 when the ticket rates were Rs 25 only. As per valuation, it is Rs 5,000 crore today and Bahubali 2 has just reached some Rs 1,500 crore, so no record has been broken.”
Actually, his statement is justified; when Gadar was released, the ticket prices were really low i.e. Rs 25, whereas now, the ticket prices of Baahubali 2 are around Rs 150-200.
We are waiting for SS Rajamouli’s reaction on this. How do you think he will react to this statement by Anil Sharma? Would Rajamouli accept it positively or will he give his own explanation too?
