Dasari Narayana Rao was once upon a time looked upon as the industry veteran and he was invited to almost all film functions from audio functions to success meets.

Dasari too would attend all of them and make his presence felt either by giving his advice or venting his opinions. However, of late, he has been off the scene as he hasn't been too well and various other reasons.

Now, looks like Rajamouli has become the new 'Dasari' of the industry. In the past, he would attend all events, but once Baahubali was announced, he stopped attending film functions.

And now that Baahubali is a huge hit, he has some time on hand before he starts shooting for the second part. So, he is making sure to attend all functions that he is invited to.

Now those close to Rajamouli feel that he could lose his star director status if he becomes accessible to all.

Now, fame is indeed a double-edged sword in the industry.
