SS Rajamouli‘s Baahubali 2 starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia and Anushka Shetty was to be released in 2016 however reports suggest that there might be a slight delay in the film. Overall, it crossed the Rs 600-crore mark. Since the first installment of Baahubali fared brilliantly at the box office domestic and overseas, the expectation has risen to greater heights with the second one hence causing the delay. Sources claim that the film will now hit the big screens only in 2017.

An insider says, “Even though a few war scenes and some other key sequences have been filmed, 70% of the movie is yet to be shot. The shooting will go on till July 2016, post which the VFX work will start.”

Baahubali 2 will start from where the first installment left. You will find answer for the most awaited question (Why did Kattappa Kill Baahubali?) in part 2.

The makers have also planned a third film in the Baahubali franchise. But, as per the film’s writer Vijayendra Prasad, it won’t star Prabhas.
