No war between ‘Dangal’ and ‘Baahubali 2,’ clash averted

This December, everyone’s desperately waiting for the biggest clash of the year at the box-office between Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dilwale’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali ‘Bajirao Mastani.’ With two big budget, multi starrer films set to hit the box office on December 18, it’s going to be a quite a watch to see who manages to make it big at the box-office. And well, just like this December, we were gearing up for a big clash next Christmas too. Reportedly, Aamir Khan‘s ‘Dangal’ and Prabhas‘ ‘Baahubali 2’ were supposed to fight it out at the box-office next December. But well, there’s a bad news. This clash has been averted and the films won’t neither release on the same date nor in the same month as per reports.

S S Rajamouli, the director of the sequence of ‘Baahubali’ named ‘Baahubali: The conclusion’ has decided to postpone the release of the film and now, the movie will hit the theatres in January 2017. A source says that “The film will now not release in December as planned. It will release in January 2017 instead.” Reports further suggest that shooting of the film is taking a bit too long to complete. Even though the filming of a few crucial sequences has already been done, the shooting of 70 percent of the film is still pending. The shooting schedule of the film will now come to an end in July 2016. After this, the post production work will begin.

The first installment of the film ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ had broken many records at the box office. Audiences had applauded the film for it’s special effects making it one of the top-grossing films of the year. After, the smashing performance of the first installment, the expectations from the second are obviously high. The makers are under the pressure make the second part bigger and better and probably this is why the film is getting delayed for so long.

‘Baabhubali: The Conclusion’ starring Prabhas is going to be one of the most expensive film’s in the history of Bollywood.
