Krishna’s Simhasanam – The ‘Baahubali Of The 80s’

SIBY JEYYA
The epic folklore film "Simhasanam" starring Superstar krishna is one of the most talked-about movies in his career. The actor considered filming an epic movie when telugu filmmakers weren't particularly fond of doing them, but neither a producer nor a director had stepped forward. And then made this amazing decision, which honoured him, honoured him and also troubled him.
In addition to penning the plot and performing as the lead in the telugu and hindi film "Simhasanam," which stars Jayaprada, Radha, Mandakini, and amjad khan in significant supporting roles, krishna also directed, edited, and produced it. While some of this hero's other movies have budgets of less than 50 lakhs, he used that money for just one set design. Simhaasanam was made for a total cost of 3 crores thanks to Krishna's decision to use 70mm stereophonic sound. On march 21, 1986, the movie opened in about 157 theatres throughout telugu states and quickly became a smash hit. It makes sense why simhasanam is referred to as the "Baahubali of the 80s."
Guess what? krishna simultaneously shot the hindi version, but with Superstar Jitendra (the father of ekta Kapoor) as the major lead, in order to avoid suffering significant costs if the movie doesn't succeed. Although the heroines and other character actors are the same, the hindi version's new hero contributed to the bollywood adaptation also being an epic smash. This is Krishna's first movie as a director, hence only he could dare to try such a hazardous attempt. Later, he directed a number of movies, many of which were made by his own Padmayala Studios
