Baahubali sequel starts shoot in December

Baahubali Returns was planned simultaneously with the first film, so much of the war scenes have already been shot

Here’s a word on the eagerly awaited sequel of Baahubali — the film starts rolling next month, on December 15 to be precise. Neck deep in the pre-production work of the film, filmmaker Rajamouli took time off to confirm the news to us. He said, “We start shooting in mid-December and hope to wrap up by July 2016.” He also clarified that no significant addition will be made to the original cast of the film.

The original plan was to resume shooting for the second part of Baahubali in November but the pre-production details took longer than expected.

A source close to the project adds, “Since Baahubali Returns was planned simultaneously with the first film, much of the war scenes and some other key sequences have already been shot. Now about 70 per cent of the film remains to be shot with Anushka Shetty, Prabhas and Sathyaraj leading the cast this time.”
