It is heard that the movie ‘Baahubali’ directed by Rajamauli with Prabhas, Anushka, Rana in the lead roles have got legal notices from the Jain societies of Karnataka and Kerala.

The notice is asking the people concerned with the movie to not name it as Baahubali as it is an action movie. There is a statue of ‘Baahubali’ in Shravanabelagola, Karnataka. Jains look upto baahubali as a symbol of selflessness and sacrifice.

According to Jains Baahubali, Bharatha both prince’s fight with each other for leadership. Baahubali who won in the war forgave Bharatha. At this time Baahubali realizes that there is no use fighting wars and killing each other. Immediately he gave his kingdom to his brother and joined Digambara Jainism.

Jains have sent a notice asking them not to potray the story as an action story with action sequences and songs, s it would hurt their sentiments. We have to wait for the response of Rajamauli.
