Rajamouli, whose highly anticipated magnum opus “Baahubali” – which he calls his tribute to Indian epic Mahabharat – releases in cinemas on Friday, says the creative success of his film is more important than its box office prospects.

“I`m usually not motivated by money. When my films succeed creatively, that`s my biggest achievement. The creative satisfaction I get from my films matters to me the most than box office numbers,” Rajamouli told.

Although he admits film economics is important, he says that`s not what drives him to make films. “Baahubali”, which is touted as one of India`s most expensive films at Rs.250 crore (nearly $40 million), is Rajamouli`s “tribute to Indian epic Mahabharat.”

“One of the biggest inspirations behind Baahubali` is Mahabharat`. The epic war drama between the Pandavas and Kauravas has always fascinated me,” he said, adding that the Amar Chitra Katha comics too helped him envision the world of “Baahubali”.

The film, originally made in Telugu and Tamil, will also release in Hindi and Malayalam in dubbed versions on July 10.
