Director SS Rajamouli, who is working on the second instalment of his magnum opus, said the love and acceptance of the audience for ‘Baahubali’ made it easy for him to work on the other. “Making second part was much easier than first one. For the first part, we had confidence but we were not sure how people will receive it. We had confidence in the subject,” Rajamouli said on the sidelines of an event.
“When the film released, and did well, it made it easy for us to shoot as people knew the characters and the basic story. But shooting for action sequences was intense,” he added. Following the end of the first where Katappa kills Baahubali, a social media storm brewed up with everybody asking the same question “Katappa ne Baahubali ko Kyun Maara?” (Why did Katappa kill Baahubali?) “We did not expect Katappa to become popular. We felt it was a right end but we did not expect it will be such a big thing,” Rajamouli said. While the director did a cameo in ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, he said he is not too keen to act in the second part.
