Karan Johar hosted the Hindi versions of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. But SS Rajamouli chose Penn Studios’ Jayantilal Gada as the host for RRR.

To present the Hindi version of RRR, SS Rajamouli said, “I asked you to host the film Baahubali. You made crores

with it. So, when a producer Making so much money, normally as a director, I expect some gift, sir. And what did you give me? You called for your talk show. You gave me a phone and a bluetooth speaker and you asked for RRR Hindi rights.”

Karan Johar then joked that he probably can’t reveal how much he earned from hosting the film Baahubali.

SS Rajamouli then added that Jayantilal Gada and producer DVV Danaiah have promised him some lavish gifts. The filmmaker told Karan Johar, “Sir, look at Jayantilal sir. He promised me a

sea facing flat in Bandra after RRR became successful. Right next to your house,” adds. “You will be shocked to know what my producer D.V.V. Danaiah has promised me… for an acre of land in Jubilee Hills,” referring to a luxury locality in Hyderabad.
