Baahubali Is To India What Star Wars Is To America Says Rana Daggubati

Actor Rana Daggubati says he is proud to be associated with super-hit Indian film franchise Baahubali, which is now making an impact internationally in the form of a comic book.

Rana had gone to Singapore for a professional commitment when he went to a book store. He found that the store had sold a large number of copies of a comic based on the film Baahubali series. The comic book in Japanese language is getting a positive response in the Asian market.

“Trans media of films as comics/graphic novels and reliving all of that through merchandise for films like ‘Star Wars‘, ‘Jurassic Park‘ or titles in the DC/Marvel cinematic universe is what I grew up on,” Rana said in a statement.

“Having been part of probably the first Indian film that broke boundaries not only nationally but on all platforms available as book comics, soon as a show and going all the way to Japan as Manga comics really makes me feel fortunate… Just to be a part of something so special and open up potential of where Indian storytelling can go in the future.
