This is a proud moment for Indian cinema, especially Tollywood. Baahubali is perhaps the first Telugu film to receive such a privilege. The movie was also screened at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival earlier this year.
The director S.S. Rajamouli and producer Shobu Yarlagadda will also be leading a panel discussion on 16 May. The filmmaker also will lead a discussion on VFX and Virtual Reality (VR) at the Marché du Film, a film market event taking place alongside the festival.
The interactive panel will be streamed live on the official Facebook page of Baahubali: The Beginning and AMD.
Rajamouli recently won the National Film Awards for Best Feature Film award and Best Special Effects. The sequel Baahubali: The Conclusion is in an advanced stage and is scheduled to release on April 14, 2017.
