'Baahubali-2' episode leaked: Three probable reasons behind it
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,November 22 2016]
So, many now know how Anushka looks in 'Baahubali-2'. Once again, the makers of the magnum opus were in for a shock (?) when a 150-second video found its way to Internet directly from the graphics lab.
This time, the ones least shocked (assuming that the stakeholders were upset in the first place) are the people. After all, when it's a Rajamouli movie, leaks have their own 'raja marga'. The thing is leaks bode well for Tollywood's biggest filmmaker. The first edition of the Prabhas-Rana starrer saw a much worse leakage - a more than 20-minute leak, minus the voice. Remember that certain VFX shots of 'Magadheera' had created quite a flutter when smart phones were not this ubiquitous.
This has made several folks out there wonder if leakage is no more an exception but the norm in the case of Rajamouli's movies. When many movies successfully safeguard themselves in the lab, how is it that only a Rajamouli movie meets this fate?
This has led the folks believe that three motives could be there behind the latest leak.
1. Sentiment: 'Baahubali-2' will now create a sensation, going by the sentiment.
2. Sympathy: People see no contradiction in watching a pirated movie ('Attarintiki Daredi') and sympathizing with the makers' plight after doing so.
3. Promotion: People find it eerily sexy when they get to watch a video secretly than when they get to see a look released in a high-profile event.
