Baahubali is a two-part Indian epic film that is being shot simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil languages. Directed by SS Rajamouli, this period movie features Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamanna. It was recently rumoured that Jain community from Karnataka had sent a legal notice to the makers for using the name of 10th century Tirthankara for the title of the movie.

Responding to the reports, SS Rajamouli tweeted, "We haven't received any notice from anyone regarding #Baahubali. As told before, our story has got nothing to do with Gomateshwara."
