In order to cash in on the fan frenzy around Baahubali: The Conclusion, a textile showroom brand has created an advertisement starring actors Sathyaraj and Ramya Krishnan, who also play key characters in the franchise. Sathyaraj has been the main brand ambassador for the textile brand for a few years now. He plays a ruler of a dynasty set in feudal Tamil Nadu, who never denies his queen's desire to shop at a particular textile showroom. The earlier ad films starred actors Seetha, Vijayakumar, MS Bhaskar along with Sathyaraj. It seems like Ramya Krishnan is the new addition to the star cast.
In
the Baahubali franchise, Ramya Krishnan plays a powerful character
called Sivagami, the Queen Mother, and Sathyaraj plays Kattappa, a loyal
servant to her. In the advertisement, however, they both play husband
and wife.
Baahubali 2, directed by ace-filmmaker SS Rajamouli, was released on
Friday, two years after its first part, Baahubali: The Beginning came
out. The film opened to an arousing response, smashing previous records
created by films of other superstars of the Indian film industry. The
movie raked in a whopping Rs 121 crore net on its opening day at the
domestic box office alone. The first part had collected Rs 50 crore on
day one and ended its worldwide theatrical run with Rs 650 crore in its
kitty. Will Baahubali 2 make Rs 1000 crore at the box office? That is
the question that has replaced 'Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?' in the
industry circuits.
Baahubali has a huge star cast, including
Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah, Sathyaraj, Ramya
Krishnan, Nassar among others. The second part was made at a budget of
Rs 250 crore, which was funded by Arka Media Works.
