The magnum opus Baahubali had changed the mindset of the filmmakers in the industry. Here is a quick analysis on it.

When star heroes like Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu compete with each other, there is nothing new, as the competition is always there between the heroes, since years. But irrespective of the hero, when the movie appears larger than the actors in it, then certainly, it  tempts many makers in the industry. That is what, Baahubali made.
   
Prabhas sounded very low, and it is Rajamouli and the Baahubali making, took the film to the international level. That point was noted down by the makers, who are trying for a right break and started concentrating on the similar films, rather than falling behind stars and making star studded commercial entertainers.  

Rudramadevi is a historical subject film, made with huge budget. It could even compete with the star hero movies. Gunasekhar, who has been forgotten by Tollywood, bounced back with the success of that movie. Producer Dil Raju, who was impressed with the movie, aimed at making another historical movie called ‘Prathapa Rudrudu’ with Gunasekhar.

In the similar lines, even Krishna Vamsi, who is finding tough since few years to get a proper success, opted a female oriented film called Rudraksha. The movie is being made with a huge budget and has the star heroines like Anushka, Samantha in it. If this movie works out, Krishna Vamsi would surely get bounced back, like Gunasekhar.

Even Balakrishna is keen on making the sequel of his earlier film Aditya 369, with a huge budget. Even, young hero Manchu Vishnu, is doing the ground work, for a big- budgeted movie.

Director Rajamouli recently said that, he is going to make several historical entertainers in the future, with big budget.

If this continues to happen, the movie would appear bigger than the stars in it, and that is where, the quality films come out and proves the Tollywood stamina to the world.
