The news that Prabhas – RajaMouli movie has been tentatively framed as “BahuBali” ismaking rounds intollywood circlesin the recent past. So, who is the Bahu Bali – what is his significance . According to Jain Mythology – Emperor Rishabha has 100 sons , the second son is BahuBali – a valiant strong personby nature. When Rishabha decidesto handover the kingdom to the elder brother Bharatha who is wealth conscious and greedy –hissons not willing to bow before him as a ruler , they take up renuniciation [ Sanyasam ] except Bahubali who protests it . Knowing this ,Bharatha wages a war on Bahubali . But to avoid bloodshed of many people for a family fued – the elder sections suggest both of them to go for duels face-to-face todecide the winner . The fight will be a traditional martial artsbased Drishti yuddha , Jala Yuddha , MallaYuddha . In the last duel – both the brothers has to hit each other with fistson head. The first blow from Bharatha almost knocked Bahubali to earth , but he getsup and while everyone knew that Bahu Bali [ A man with immense arm strength ] hits Bharatha – he would die for sure. Bahu Bali raises his hand to hit Bharatha , but could not do it as he felt his father’s name would be in black mark in history with brothers killing each other for land, wealth and Power. Instead of hitting Bharatha withhis risen hand – Bahubali plucks his own hear and decides to join renunciation forthe rest of the life. Seeing this, Bharatha feels humiliated andunderstands the value of life and shows a reformation.
Well, this is the story of Bahubali in the history folks… The story is really gripping and has all the emotions. We have to see if Raja Mouli picked this as story theme. If this story line is indeed true –then it matches the gossip thatthe story is based on two brothers as we hear in media circles. Rana would be playing Bharatha and Bahubali would be Prabhas.
Well, anyways – we all know Raja Mouli ‘s approach to marketing . He will tell the story in advance and prepares the audience with right expectations so that there is no disappointment from the audience.
