“It is quite a complicated spell that you cannot just say ‘Okay, I just got out of it’,” said the filmmaker, who worked with Dharma Productions to help the film transcend language barriers.
Jakkanna said he was sure that the film will be successful, but its popularity in northern India stumped him.
“The total budget of both the films was Rs 150 core. If we hadn’t expected that the film will do very well and aim good result — simple economics will point out that we would not have done the movie at all,” he said.
After the success of the franchise, Rajamouli says he has “lost a little bit of privacy in the northern belt as well”.
“But nothing else has changed. I am as content as I was before the film released,” the director said.
