THESE many people knew why Katappa killed Baahubali, reveals Rajamouli

Why did Katappa Kill Baahubali?

This was probably the most asked question of 2015 and 2016. From WhatsApp forwards to social media memes and everything in between was high on Baahubali fever. Finally, on 28th April 2017, the answer was out in theatres.

In an age where information is liquid and vulnerable and it makes its way out to the public domain in so many ways, it is not an easy task to just maintain intact secrecy but also build up such mammoth curiosity.  (Also Read: SS Rajamouli not disappointed with ‘Baahubali 2’ not making it to Oscars)

However, there were a handful of people who knew the answer from beginning. Director SS Rajamouli has revealed so!

“Very few people, maybe around 10-15 people would have known the entire story. But what happens with your unit is that you’re shooting for such a long time, you’re shooting for about two years and we were not shooting in a chronological order — it was one scene here one shot there.

“And again when we are shooting, we are shooting so many layers for each shot and the unit members don’t really know what we are actually filming. It is impossible for them to connect all the dots. It’s easy to keep them confused and it’s not willfully done, that’s the pattern how it’s done. That’s the reason why none of the rest of the unit members actually knew the answer,” Rajamouli said.

Never mind that we didn’t know. The wait was all the worth. Don’t you think so?
