The audio launch of ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ was so huge even before the main picture even released. The movie made it a blockbuster event at the pre-release celebrations of the film at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City. During the celebrations, the question that has been running in the minds of many cropped up again and Sathyaraj who plays the role of Kattappa, this time has promised to answer why. While on the state, Sathyaraj stated, “Producer Shobu paid me very well to kill Prabhas. My director Rajamouli asked me to kill Baahubali, and I obliged. Why would I kill darling Prabhas otherwise?”

We know what you expected to read but that exactly is the answer for which ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ was made after all. Baahubali 2 is perhaps the most-awaited movie this year for it promises to unravel several mysteries. However, we have some lovely updates about the movie. Prabhas who will be playing both Mahendra and Amarendra Baahubali has undergone a drastic physical transformation in order to sport two different roles. The question was then reframed to enquire why Rajamouli wanted to have Bahubali slain in the film and Sathyaraj said, in this case, Rajamouli would be the best person to address the query.

Earlier in an interview with news agency PTI, Rajamouli had said that he is fond of being asked the question. “We love it when anyone asks this question. I can’t count the number of times we get asked this. It is exciting not just for me but for the entire team. We feel elated that we could break the barrier of region and language,” Rajamouli had said. “It was teamwork on a mammoth scale, with over 200 people working night and day, in our department alone. Armed with walkie-talkies and always in touch with the ground staff, Rajamouli and I worked from concept to reality to get the location ready for the shoot to begin, in record time,” said Sabu Cyril, National Award-winning Art Director who also revealed that the location, where the cliffhanging moment of the film has been shot, was constructed in 45 days.

Here’s another happy update – in case you missed ‘Baahubali – the beginning’ (which we doubt is the case), the team has decided to re-release the movie just so you have a chance to recollect the background once again.
