A Quote by S. S. Rajamouli
'Bahubali' is not about big budgets, big visuals, or massive marketing. If a hero, producer, and director in Bollywood can have that kind of trust, something even bigger than 'Bahubali' is possible.

Marketing executives like big budgets, as big budgets make it easier to grow the top line.
I've always relied on a big producer and big studios. I had budgets that were ridiculous.
The producer can put something together, package it, oversee it, give input. I'm the kind of producer that likes to take a back seat and let the director run with it.

In my career, many a times I was not able to be part of many films, and there were many reasons for them. But I don't know why people still talk only about why I didn't do 'Bahubali 1' and '2.'
Big-budget movies might have huge marketing budgets, but only some films have the content to stand out.
I follow the director's lead because they generally know more about the big picture, but I also trust that the director will give me enough freedom to play.
Every time I rap about being a big girl in a small world, it's doing a couple things: it's empowering my self-awareness, my body image, and it's also making the statement that we are all bigger than this; we're a part of something bigger than this, and we should live in each moment knowing that.
