The release date of the epic period film ‘Baahubali – The Conclusion’ has come out in the media today as April 14th 2017. That leaves more than 400 days for the team to complete work.
The question is, why commit to a date so far in advance? There is a surprisingly important reason behind this decision to get the date out into the press.
Baahubali is no longer a Telugu Cinema franchise. It is equally big in both Tamil and Hindi. For Hindi films, release dates are planned well in advance and if you miss a date, you have to wait many months to get a slot again. April 14th is Good Friday and therefore, a public holiday in many areas. No other major Hindi film has locked this date so far and there is a big gap before and after April 14th for other scheduled releases.
Apart from this, the Tamil New Year is also on April 14th and this should ensure solid openings for the film in Tamil Nadu as well. To ensure that Baahubali comes in cleanly and with minimal opposition, the team has put this date out in the media.
