Bollywood expensive movie

Bahubali: India's answer to Hollywood's hit film series 300, is a grand visual delight in every sense. The magnum opus featuring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah and Anushka Shetty is made on a whopping budget of Rs 250 crore. Featuring never seen before gravity defying stunts shot in a grand manner, huge sets and beautiful cinematography, Bahubali is all that we need for a mega entertaining experience. From bringing about 1000 horses from Rajasthan for shooting, to building swords, armour, jewellery from scratch, the film has all elements to boast about, including a very expensive romantic song sequence which will not be shown on social media or television. The SS Rajmouli directed film has released in three languages including Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and is backed by Karan Johar.

S Shankar’s upcoming bilingual sci-fi, ‘2.0, ’ which is a sequel to the hit 2010 film, ‘Robot, ’ is grand in every sense of the term. Right from starring South mega star, Rajinikanth to having a Bollywood’s Khiladi as the antagonist and cutting edge VFX, 2.0 meets all the parameters that are a prerequisite of a blockbuster film. Naturally the budget of the film, too, has to be as grand. While the film is already touted to be the most expensive film in Indian cinema, surpassing even the ‘Baahubali’ series, a particular fight sequence in the film alone amounted to Rs 20 crore, as reported by BollywoodLife. Reportedly, this fight between Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar is the most thrilling sequence of the film and is part of the climax.

While 2.0 might be the most expensive film at present, there are other films that have held the top position in the past. Move on to read about some of the most expensive films made in Bollywood…

Ra.One: Shah Rukh Khan’s sci-fi film Ra.One was a first of its kind film made in Bollywood. With a budget of around Rs 125 crore, Ra.One realised SRK’s childhood dream of becoming a superhero. Apart from the costly VFX, what came as the second biggest expense was the costume. While Khan’s latex costume ranged around Rs 1 crore, Arjun Rampal’s red suit was made of 3-inch thick solid rubber. Both had micro-computer circuitry too which made the things very difficult for the actors wearing them. And we will definitely remember King Khan’s efforts in setting an example.

Krrish 3: Hrithik Roshan gave India its own superhero Krrish, but everything comes at a cost. Directed by Rakesh Roshan, Krrish 3 cost the father-son duo a whopping Rs 115 crore. But they managed to earn the amount back along with heavy profits. It is said the Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies VFX took care of the special effects of the film, which were revised a few dozen times before inclusion at a cost of about Rs 26 crore. Not to forget Kangana’s latex rubber costume worth around Rs 10 lakh each, and Vivek Oberoi’s metal suit weighing 28 kg, the film had too many things to boast of.
