Baahubali Increased My Market Value: Rana 

New Delhi: Actor Rana Daggubati says magnum opus "Baahubali" is a career-defining film for him as people from the industry now have more trust in his vision and calibre as an artiste. The 32-year-old says the success of the film has made it easier for him to green-light a project.

"My approach to cinema is very different. I am sure the film has increased my market value. If not 'Baahubali' first part, it would have been tough for me to bring something like a submarine war film (The Ghazi Attack) alive in India. Now, I can do a lot of alternative things and tell different stories in different languages as that's what interests me," said Rana.

The actor, who along with the rest of the cast invested his five years to bring alive Rajamouli's dream, says working with the team has left a huge impact on him and his future endeavours will have a clear impression of what he learnt on the sets of the film. Rana believes "Baahubali" may end up changing the way movies are made in the country.

Rana, who worked hard to maintain his physique for "Baahubali" is currently on a break from his gruelling gym routine and is enjoying his free time.

"My next film is a political thriller in Telugu. I will start the shooting soon and it will be out somewhere in August. Post that, I have another film which is set in 1945. It is a love story," he says.
