Megastar Chiranjeevi says that Baahubali: The Conclusion (Bahubali 2) is an outstanding film and director SS Rajamouli deserves all the accolades for creating a wonder like Baahubali.

Chiranjeevi, who is basking in in the success of his comeback film Khaidi No 150, reportedly watched the much-talked about movie Baahubali on Saturday. The megastar was awestruck by the brilliant work done by the film unit. In statement released to the media, Chiru heaped praises upon the Baahubali team.

Chiranjeevi says whole credit to the success of the film goes to its creator. "Baahubali: The Conclusion is an outstanding film. Rajamouli deserves all the accolades for creating a wonder like 'Baahubali'. Hats off to the creator for letting Telugu cinema grow by leaps and bounds," reads the megastar's statement.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi went on to congratulate the entire cast and crew of the franchise for the success. "I congratulate Prabhas, Rana, Ramya Krishna, Anushka, Sathyaraj, Nassar and others, especially writer Vijayendra Prasad, Music director Keeravani, Cinematographer Senthil and other technical crew." Chiranjeevi said.

Chiru's son Ram Charan released his statement on the Twitter handle of Konidela Production Company. The makers of Baahubali thanked the megastar for his appreciations.

Baahubali 2 has collected Rs 212 crore gross at the worldwide box office on the first day and registered the biggest opening for an Indian film. Its massive performance has stunned filmmakers and trade analysts not just in India, but also around the world. Many have praised the film unit for taking Telugu cinema beyond one's imagination.

However, Chiranjeevi's last outing Khaidi No 150, which was released in the theatres on January 11, has collected Rs 164 crore gross at the worldwide box office in its lifetime. Now, Baahubali 2 has shattered this record with a huge margin in just one day and that too without featuring any superstar playing lead role in the movie. With Baahubali franchise, director SS Rajamouli himself has emerged as superstar.
