SS Rajamouli, the renowned director of Baahubali, took to social media to congratulate the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the successful launch of its most powerful rocket, nicknamed 'Bahubali'. The rocket, Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LMV-3), carried ISRO's heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, into space, improving television broadcasting, telecom, and broadband services.
Rajamouli expressed his pride and elation, stating that the successful launch showcases India's technological strength and self-reliance in space exploration. He wrote, "Congratulations to ISRO... A proud moment for India... Onwards and upwards!" The director's Baahubali team is thrilled that ISRO fondly named the rocket 'Bahubali' due to its heaviness and strength.
The Baahubali film series, comprising Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion, was recently re-edited into a single film, Baahubali: The Epic, currently playing in theatres. Rajamouli's post highlights the connection between his film and ISRO's achievement.
ISRO's achievement demonstrates India's capabilities in space exploration, and Rajamouli's congratulatory message reflects his pride in being associated with this milestone.
