When the magnum opus Baahubali-The Beginning arrived, the Telugu audience beat their chest with pride because it took the level of Telugu cinema to international scale. But in the background, many filmmakers across India took this as a challenge.
They began to come up with films that will beat Baahubali. Meanwhile, this movie also inspired many Telugu filmmakers to come up with period flicks with larger canvas. One such movie is the historical opus Gautamiputra Satakarni and within a short time, it has garnered a lot of attention.
The point being raised by few film analysts is, can Gautamiputra Satakarni compete with Baahubali-The Conclusion in terms of grandeur, visual intensity and emotional peaks. This is a very tough question to answer but the only way to find out is wait for the films to release.
