Many fantasy genre movies in Kollywood has failed before, such as Ayirathil Oruvan, 7aam Arivu and Irandaam Ulagam. But Baahubali came and shattered all expectations. I believe this will open up the Tamil audiences to such movies and at the very least, people will watch Puli just to compare it with Baahubali.
*Yes, I am aware that Baahubali and Puli are different genres but the common man adamantly groups them in the same genre.
