Recently, Ram Gopal Varma had a private conversation with TopMob, during which he expressed his thoughts about all-India movies and the influence that Baahubali and filmmaker SS Rajamouli have had on the movie industry.
As a diehard cinema enthusiast, I couldn’t help but notice that it’s always been English-made pan-world films that dominate the global scene, breaking barriers and making a splash far from home.
Ram Gopal Varma made it clear by stating, “Rajamouli, similar to Baahubali, took everyone by surprise with an unrecognized actor like Prabhas. The success of this film demonstrated that when content is strong, it doesn’t matter where the movie originates.
He went on to say, “Every performer must begin at some point, yet the profits generated later indicate the scope of a quality movie and its earning potential. This leads people to think it’s a good film. However, there’s another aspect to consider…
In other words, RGV explained that having a successful track record can open up more opportunities for a movie to be distributed in various languages across India, making it a nationwide hit. Yet, he noted that the concept of every film may sound appealing only when you’re discussing it with a small group of people.
Varma explained, “In essence, Rajamouli would have created the same epic masterpiece like Baahubali even if he were born in Gujarat instead of South India. His unique style and sensibility are what make his work stand out. It’s important to note that no one else could have produced a film like Baahubali in the South except him. This isn’t about boasting the culture of Telugu films, but rather acknowledging that exceptional creativity deserves recognition regardless of its origin.

To summarize, Ram Gopal Varma underlined the fact that just as in any other Indian film industry, there are failures or flops in South India too. It’s not the case that every South movie achieves pan-India success. He also pointed out that films with robust content have a better chance of succeeding, and this was demonstrated by movies like Maharaja and Kantara.
