Director
SS Rajamouli sprang a surprise on Saturday leaving all Baahubali fans
asking for more, after releasing a character poster featuring one of the
most-admired characters of the franchise – Kattappa.
The
poster draws its inspiration from the iconic question – Why did
Kattappa kill Baahubali?
“Our designer jegan came up with this idea. Couldnt help but tweet,
though unscheduled,” he posted on his Twitter along with the poster.
“The boy he raised. The man he killed…”
The
first part of the epic series, Baahubali: The Beginning, ended with
visuals of Kattappa stabbing Baahubali in the back as seen in the new
poster, leaving the audience shocked, given Kattappa was the most loyal
to Baahubali.
On
Saturday, during a live Facebook chat with his fans, Rajamouli said
that he never expected the climax twist of the first part to become such
a big hit.
“I wanted to show Kattappa killing Baahubali to give a twist to the tale
at the end. I knew it will create some level of shock value among the
audience but never expected it become such a rage,” he said.
Rajamouli
also added that he does not see the expectations around the movie,
which is sky high, as a burden. “I never felt the pressure or burdened
by the expectations of the audience. I think it is an advantage,” he
said, adding that so much of expectations will only ensure a good
viewership for the film.
“Why
did Kattappa kill Baahubali?” has become the question of the decade
even as the fans of Baahubali series worldwide have been pondering over
it for about two years now. And it is also one of the closely guarded
secrets of Indian film industry that will only be revealed when the
film’s second installment, Baahubali; the Conclusion, opens in theatres
on April 28.
The
trailer of the film will be released in theatres in Andhra Pradesh and
Telangana on March 16 and it will be available on the internet the same
evening.
