Baahubali 2 vs Tubelight: Kabir Khan is not bothered by box office success of SS Rajamouli's movie

SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2 (Bahubali 2) has broken all box office records, and is still going strong with excellent collection across the world. However, Kabir Khan, who is set to release Salman Khan-starrer Tubelight, said that he does not feel pressurized by the Baahubali 2 massive collections.

After the release of Prabhas-starrer Baahubali 2, Salman's Tubelight is the next big movie to hit the screens. Although the movie Tubelight also has much hype around it, collection records of Baahubali 2 are currently appearing to be too big to be broken anytime soon.

Tubelight being Salman's movie, it is most likely that its collection will be compared with that of Baahubali 2. Nevertheless, director Kabir is not bothered about the film's collection and the comparisons.

He said that though he hopes Tubelight does well at the box office, his intention behind making the film is to offer something different to the audience, and he is not pressurized by Baahubali 2 craze.

"No, already we have a lot of pressures in life, and now don't want to take pressure of Baahubali as well (laughs). Everybody wants their film to do well. I am not saying that I don't want Tubelight to earn 100, 200, 300, 400 crore. But you can't make a film keeping that in mind, and if we take pressures, we will make wrong decisions."

"If I had thought that I should keep making action films because that had worked well for me, then Bajrangi Bhaijaan would not have been made. After Bajrangi Bhaijaan, I tried making something different again, and so now Tubelight is coming. So, if it gets to those magic numbers then well and good, but we are not moving forward with those pressures in mind," Kabir told media at a recent event when asked if he feels pressurized by Baahubali 2 success.

While Baahubali 2 (including all languages) has become the highest grossing Indian movie ever at the worldwide box office, Hindi version of the epic drama alone has crossed Rs. 400 crore mark.
