‘Baahubali’ is currently TFI’s most anticipated and keenly watched project. The prestigious project is being directed by S.S.Rajamouli and Arka Media is producing the film. Recently, a making video was released on the occasion of Prabhas’s birthday and the video went on to create a sensation in YouTube.
However, an unexpected allegation has been levelled against the team. A video has surfaced on the internet, bearing remarkable similarity to the making video of Baahubali. A few websites and TV channels accused the makers of blatantly copying the concept of someone else’s work.
Producer Shobhu however, condemned these allegations. “We have commercially purchased the template used in that video.We have licensed it legally. Anyone can license that template and it is not copying. We felt that the template is ideal for our video and hence we paid for it.”, he said on Twitter.
Officially purchasing a template for commercial usage is a legal and perfectly normal practice, so this should put an end to the speculation.
The video template used in the teaser is from a large template vendor called VideoHive.com
The project files can be found here : http://videohive.net/item/comic-epic-promo/5203939?ref=Aslik
The video on TV9 was this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e3OvzwwNyg
Whatch that video and read the description. It's a design template, not a trailer of an
actual
film! There is no such thig as copied from bollywood! Relax, people, it's just a first
look. The team must've been under preassure for the release of the video for Prabhas's
birthday, so they purchased a template on Videohive. com for the first look. I still don't
understand why TV channels dumbly make up the false news....
