Watch: When Karan Johar Asked SS Rajamouli Why He Was Not Given Hindi Right Of 'RRR'

Karan Johar was the presenter of the Hindi version of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, but SS Rajamouli chose Pen Studios' Jayantilal Gada as the presenter for RRR.

At the event, Karan Johar asked SS Rajamouli why he didn't give him the rights to the Hindi version, even though he had supported his two previous films. SS Rajamouli playfully responded that Dharma Productions made a lot of money from the two?Baahubali?films, but didn't give him anything in return.?

When Karan Johar said that he was “hurt” and “upset” at not being given the opportunity to present the Hindi version of?RRR,?SS Rajamouli said, “I asked you to be the presenter of?Baahubali?films. You made tens and hundreds of crores with that. So, when a producer makes so much money, usually as a director, I expect some gifts, sir. And what did you give me? You called for your talk show. You gave me a phone and a Bluetooth speaker and you wanted the rights of?RRR?Hindi.”

Karan Johar then joked that he could not possibly reveal how much he made from being the presenter ofthe?Baahubali?films.

SS Rajamouli then goes on to add that Jayantilal Gada and producer DVV Danayya have promised him some luxury gifts. The filmmaker tells Karan Johar, “Sir, look at Jayantilal sir. He has promised me a sea-facing flat in Bandra after?RRR?is a success. Right next to your house,” adding. “You will be shocked to know what my producer D. V. V. Danayya has promised me… a one-acre plot in Jubilee Hills,” referring to a plush area in Hyderabad.
