Baahubali toys have huge demand now, says designer Uday Bhaskar

The success of SS

Rajamouli

’s magnum opus ‘

Baahubali-2

’ has helped to boost the sales of toys based on characters of the movie, says Vizag-based entrepreneur, Uday Bhaskar.




Uday, who recently founded a toy manufacturing firm shared that the response from customers was phenomenal. "On the first day, we sold 200 pieces. There’s great demand from overseas, especially from places such as France and Germany. This one time, a customer from New York spoke to me for about seven hours. We are surprised with the response," he revealed.

He added that he got the inspiration to start the project after watching the movie. "I went to US and Canada, and realized it wasn’t cost effective. Finally, I decided to get them manufactured from China, where the cost of production is cheaper and there’s no compromise on quality,” he shared his trade mantra. Uday’s next plan is to create more toys based on popular Indian movies.
