Ever since Rajamouli delivered the industry hit Magadheera and turned the nation's eyes towards his films, he has been under extreme pressure called 'heavy expectations'. While Maryada Ramanna was a quickie and released without much fuss, his next film, the visual effects magic, Eega, released amidst high expectations.
To counter the pressure and still surpass the fans' expectations, Rajamouli derived a technique and that was to reveal the film's basic plot during the film's muhurtham itself. This made the fans to vaguely expect what they will be watching on screen, without going in with their preconceived plotlines and get disappointed if the film ends up being something else.
Now, Rajamouli seems to be following the same strategy for Baahubali. With every first look poster he has been releasing, Rajamouli is giving a brief hint about the characters' roles and their background. This will once again let the fans' to come to the theatres equipped with basic idea about the characters and enjoy the film in peace.
While most filmmakers fail to reach to the audiences expectations by totally safeguarding their films until the release, Rajamouli's smart technique has been rewarding him with blockbuster success.
