CinemaDirector SS Rajamouli recently attended a 'screaming screening' in Japan to mark its grand success.Tnm StaffSS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali is a blockbuster in every sense. The film’s sequel, Baahubali: The Conclusion has had several overseas releases, and its recent milestone comes from Japan. The film recently clocked its 100th day, emerging as the third highest grossing Indian film of all time in Japan, the other two being Superstar Rajinikanth’s Muthu (1995) and Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots (2005). Japan has always welcomed Indian films with much enthusiasm and warmth. Actor Rajinikanth enjoys a superstar status in the country where his film Muthu is more popularly known as the Dancing Maharaja. Baahubali, too has entered Japan’s popular culture and the franchise now has its own merchandise. Overwhelmed by its response, its director SS Rajamouli recently attended a “screaming screening” of the film in Japan. He also posted a video on his Twitter and Instagram handles. The video shows the fans cheering and enthusiastically chanting ‘Baahubali’. Thanks to our Japanese distributors @movietwin2 for the humble reception. Attending "screaming screening" of #Baahubali2 in sometime. I’ll be live on my Instagram from the screening place in a while... https://t.co/B2UEXYMEiZ — rajamouli ss (@ssrajamouli) April 26, 2018 So happy to meet all the fans and film enthusiasts who made it to the #Baahubali2 screaming screening in Tokyo, Japan last night.
