- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,March 12 2012]
Producers J Bhagavan and J Pulla Rao say that the budget of Rebel will cross Rs. 40 cr. The flashback episodes were recently shot at a specially-erected set at Shamshabad. It was shot on all the cast  Krishnam Raju, Prabhas, Deeksha Seth, Prabha, Mukhesh Rushi, Supreet and others. A huge Kalika Mata statue formed the backdrop. Over 100 fighters and 1000 junior artists participated in the 15-day schedule, which cost the producers Rs. 2 cr.
Saying that the film will be released in the second week of June, the producers revealed the shooting schedule. Starting March 16, the unit will relocate to the RMF. From the 29th, climax scenes will be shot at a stretch (for 15 days). Later in April, two songs will be shot in Paris and a song in a costly set here in Hyderabad.
Going by the information said by the makers, it appears that the film has a touch of holism. Since the image of Kali conjures up the idea of the killing of asura, we may guess that Prabhas has got a -mission in the film - to eliminate evil forces.
Let's hope that Lawrence and Rebel Star will create BO history this June.
