Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who just rereleased Baahubali in theatres, celebrated the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) decision to name one of its rockets after the film's titular character. Rajamouli called it a privilege for the entire team.

India witnessed a proud moment in space history as ISRO successfully launched its heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, on Monday. The satellite, aimed at enhancing telecommunication and broadcasting capabilities, was carried into orbit by ISRO's most powerful launch vehicle, which has now earned an affectionate and familiar nickname, 'Baahubali'.
