It seems even chief minister Siddaramaiah is bitten by the Baahubali bug. He was never known to be fond of films until recently.

Last month he watched the Kannada film Raajakumara starring Puneeth Rajkumar and appreciated it. Today, he decided to watch a Telugu film in Bengaluru. He watched the film at the multiplex in orion Mall.

The CM has just returned from a visit to Dubai and today is a government holiday because of May Day. The CM has spent his time watching the film along with other 45 members. Each ticket cost Rs 1,050 sources said. If the ticket price cap was done last week, the CM would have had to pay only Rs 200!
