The historical drama which has collected over Rs 1800 crore at the worldwide market will now be introduced as a case study in one of the electives at the premium Business school of IIM Ahmedabad. As per the DNA report, the students of Contemporary Film Industry – a business perspective will study the power of sequel and how it can make a movie a de-risk project as a marketing concept.
In an interaction with DNA, Professor Bharathan Kandaswamy revealed the news and said, “I will be introducing Bahubali 2 as a case study in the new academic year and it will essentially focus on the power of a sequel and how a sequel can de-risk the movie as a marketing concept.” He further added, “There is a research from Stanford university which says that a prequel is always considered better than the sequel but a sequel makes more money than a prequel. Sequels make more money because the producers become more marketing savvy based on the success of a prequel.”
In the last year, Baahubali 2 topped Google India’s search trends and also grabbed the top Twitter trend position. The film which features Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannah Bhatia in key roles received the highest viewership in the small screen as well.
