The much awaited multi-lingual period drama, Baahubali, is going to participate in the 40th edition of Saarang, the prestigious cultural fest of India’s premiere educational institution, IIT Madras, from Jan. 7th to 11th. Saarang is a famous cultural extravaganza held annually at IIT Madras. A five-day festival, it is characterized by days jam-packed with events and competitions, while the nights are comprised of performances from the best professional artistes from India and abroad. Baahubali has the honour of sponsoring Saarang’s famous ‘Film Festival’, which is scheduled for the 4th day of the gala.
Team Baahubali will be hosting exciting activities like photo-ops with life-size cut-outs of the films’ stars and Baahubali themed jig-saw puzzles. There will also be an exciting social media competition. To participate, Saarang enthusiasts have to simply document any sights, sounds or memories from the festival and share it on any social media platform with the hashtag-#BaahubaliAtSaarang.
Lucky participants with the most interesting photographs will win exciting gifts and give-aways. Furthermore, Madhan Karky, award winning lyricist and Tamil dialogue writer for Baahubali, will be contributing in the Lecture Demonstration Series on the first day of the festival.
Finally, adding to the tradition of crowning a Mr. and Ms. Saarang, this year there will be a new title up for grabs – Mr. Baahubali. As the name suggests, this title will be given to the guy with the most well built physique.
Produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni for Arka Mediaworks banner, Baahubali is directed by SS Rajamouli and features Anushka, Tamanna, Rana Daggubati and Prabhas in the lead.
