Is Rajamouli following his hit formula?

Even before the film hit the screens, SS Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali is creating a sensational buzz. Of late, an alleged story of Baahubali is doing the rounds on social media in which Prabhas will have two births. While in his first life, Prabhas will be seen as Baahubali who will be killed by Bhallaladeva and then he will be reincarnated as Sivudu.

If at all this interesting snippet about the film becomes true, one can conclude that Rajamouli is rehashing his favorite and the most successful formula of reincarnation. While Jakkanna exploited the emotional drama in the reincarnation concept in Ram Charan's 2009 industry hit Magadheera, Rajamouli only notched up the success with his 2012 VFX wonder Eega.

Deciphering further, one can also notice that Rajamouli explored the revenge drama concept with the subtext of love in all these three films. Reincarnation as a screenplay tool is an emotionally high yielding technique where the audiences can empathize with the protagonist's death and will root for his pursuit of revenge in his reincarnation. Let's wait until the film's release to know about the film without coming to any conclusions.
