I will die trying to do another 'Baahubali' kind of film. It's not a film that can be easily replicated. I believe only Rajamouli has the experience and vision to handle projects on such scale.
I have worked with top directors like Rajamouli and Vinayak and with upcoming directors like Vamsi.
I would even commit seven years to a film for Rajamouli.
'Baahubali' has brought so much name and fame to our industry. And if given a chance to work with Rajamouli, who would say no? I hope to work with him. You never know, maybe my 151st or 152nd film.
It is such a treat to see two of my most favourite creative people in one frame - Rajamouli sir and Amitabh sir. They are so inspiring.
If Rajamouli is the brain and heart of 'Baahubali,' the producers are its skeleton, holding everything together, and the fans are the blood. Rajamouli deserves all the laurels, but he's so modest that he diverts all of it towards his team.
'Baahubali' was a film that was never done before. Rajamouli sir was my biggest inspiration because he lives in the smallest house and drives the smallest cars, but he makes the biggest films ever. He taught me the art of analysing your own strengths, and I take inspiration from him.
Whenever I bump into Rajamouli sir, I jokingly ask him about 'Eega 2.' As a fan of 'Eega,' I want the sequel.
