Before the release of the film S.S. Rajamouli’s work was compared to that of Shankar; to which, the latter asked people to stop the comparison as he feels Shankar is way too ahead of him. He told behindwoods.com, “When Shankar sir was working with visual effects and CG in his early films, I didn't even know what a green matte was. There is no question of comparing me with him but am happy that my name is taken after him, whenever there is talk about making grand effects-based films on big scales and budgets”.

Baahubali has crossed all the records of a South Indian film, in four days the film’s net collection was about Rs. 200 crores. In fact it is the first Telugu film to get recognition in the international market. Baahubali has been praised in many international newspapers as well.
