A recent open invitation to all the talented guys for an offer to be a part of Rajamouli's upcoming project 'Bahubali' seems to have recieved more than the response that S.S.Rajamouli & his team had hoped for & could handle. In his recent tweets, Rajamouli said they had received about 13,000 applications, further which they had to stop taking applications. He also says that they have short listed 2000 applicants among the 13,000 applicants, according him is a daunting task. He apologizes to all the non-short listed guys as well as for stoping the accepting the applications beyond 13,000. He tweets "Short listing 2000 ppl from 13000 was a daunting task. We just couldn't handle more, so had to block..Apologies there". He was in for more suprise when half of the 2000 short listed applicants didn't turn up when asked to attend the auditions. He tweets "Over The last month short listed about 2000 applicants, asked them to attend auditions. Suprisingly Half of them didn't turn up..". The ordeal of selecting suitable candidates doesn't stop there for S.S.Rajamouli & his team, out of the 50 guys who where selected for training after auditions half of them disappeared after just two days of training. "After auditions, selected about 50 guys and started training. After 2 days half of them disappeared...", he tweets.

One can imagine the amount of hard work that S.S.Rajamouli puts into his projects to make it as perfect as possible. That's why they say "Success doesn't come easy"
