#There will definitely be Baahubali 3. Like SS Rajamouli said, there are so many stories yet to be told, the two parts are just the tip of the ice berg.
#The secret to Why Katappa Killed Bahaubali has never come out in all these years because SS Rajamouli has a loyal team! Yes, that’s how Anushka Shetty puts it. The team’s fierce loyalty to the genius filmmaker is what stops them.
#SS Rajamouli revealed that this morning, when he was waiting in a lift, a bellboy was spotted staring at him. A little later, he asked “Are you Katappa?” and Rajamouli was like yes! Haha!
#There is a similarity between Amarendra Baahubali and Prabhas – Both of them care about their people.
#SS Rajamouli revealed that Baahubali 2 is not a sequel but a continuation to the story.
#Bahaubali has changed the way Tamannaah Bhatia looks at herself. SS Rajamouli has influenced her a lot. In fact, she went on to say – “Now whenever I have to do difficult, I am like, I have done Baahubali, I can do anything.”
#When asked how many films, Prabhas had to give up for this Magnum Opus, he went on to say 1 Baahubali = 100 films. True that! Prabhas has only a few words to say, but when he does speak up, he hits bull’s eye.
#According to SS Rajamouli, he is a great story teller who can blow someone away with his storytelling skills but when it comes filmmaking, he has 10,000 doubts for every scene.
#In Bahaubali 2, the script, narrative hasn’t changed. Only the action sequences have been amped up and tightened.
#Because of the action scenes and sequences, Prabhas had to go through a shoulder surgery. Because of which he had to take a break for a bit. When he sort of trivialised the injury, Tamannaah went on to say – “He’s just making it seem small, he’s pretty damaged everywhere.”
#Tamannaah revealed,”Nothing can stop a Bahaubali shoot.” She also stated that nobody else could have played Prabhas. He plays the part with such passion and he always has a smile on his face.
