Shobu Yarlagadda, the producer of Bahubali 2-The Conclusion says, “We are excited to be part of this initiative and glad that we are able to make a difference to the lives of these kids. We want our fans to make a difference to the lives of these kids by funding this online at Fueladream.com “
This collaboration also makes it easier for children to have their innermost wishes fulfilled, such as acquiring a bicycle, doll house, mobile phone or even a laptop, or visiting the sets of a movie like Bahubali. There is also a provision in the platform that allows them to meet the stars of the film or even become a film director for a day.
Ranganath Thota, Founder and CEO of Fueladream said there are two categories of crowdfunding platforms -- one is financial and return and the other is reward. Fueladream focuses mainly on the latter.
Conceptualised by Fueladream.com, this initiative allows fans of the movie and those who want to fund a charity, make a difference to the lives of kids suffering from life-threatening ailments. They can get unique rewards that include T-shirts autographed by Rajamouli and the stars of Bahubali -- Prabhas and Rana. Tickets for the first day show of the movie are also available for those who fund larger amounts. All funding is also eligible for benefits under the Income Tax Act.
Thota added, four kids with life threatening diseases, along with their parents from Make-A-Wish foundation had paid a visit to the sets of Bahubali last year and spent the day there. They also had lunch with the stars and movie crew.
