Shankar and SS Rajamouli are by far the biggest directors in Indian Cinema, along with Rajkumar Hirani in Bollywood. No film in the history of Telugu Cinema has crossed the 200 crore worldwide gross and only two South Indian films, Enthiran' and I' both directed by Shankar, have managed to gross more than 200 crore at the global box office. Currently, the highest Telugu worldwide grosser is SS Rajamouli's Magadheera, which grossed around Rs 155 crore worldwide.

Baahubali is likely to be the highest worldwide Telugu grosser ever by the end of its first weekend (the advance booking is extraordinary and ticket prices are at an all time high too) and eventually go on to gross more than 200 crore.

The word-of-mouth is excellent too, so Baahubali - The Beginning' is likely to enjoy a long and successful run at the box office.
