I don't want to make a 'Baahubali': AR Rahman
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,May 08 2017]
With 'Baahubali-2' creating history, it's only probable that everyone from Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Shankar to Sampoornesh Babu will be asked about the film by one or another interviewer in some or the other way.
Ahead of the release of his directorial debut 'Le Musk', made on VR technology, Rahman was asked whether he would want to direct a 'Baahubali' (the 'Mozart of Madras' is said to wear the hat more often from now onwards).
As someone who is aware of the fact that direction is a physically taxing process, Rahman gave a frank answer. "Grandeur is too overwhelming in VR. You feel tired after sometime. For example, (to do) a war scene (like in 'Baahubali'), you could feel the pressure. In 3D, the pressure is felt farther," he said during a promotional event.
"I don't want to make a film as grand as 'Baahubali' because we have other grander directors who can make such films. Plus, I don't have Rs 200 crore," he further said.
