Baahubali 2 to be bigger and emotional: SS Rajamouli
Highlights
Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s popularity in South Korea was evident when ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ was screened (recently) at the Busan Film Festival’s Open Cinema strand where hundreds of Korean fans lined up for the director’s autograph and photos armed with the film’s posters and DVDs of ‘Eega’.
Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s popularity in South Korea was evident when ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ was screened (recently) at the Busan Film Festival’s Open Cinema strand where hundreds of Korean fans lined up for the director’s autograph and photos armed with the film’s posters and DVDs of ‘Eega’.
The final 35 minutes of ‘Baahubali’ features an epic war scene that had audiences returning to the theaters multiple times. “We realise that the commercial success of part one predominantly came from the visual effects and the war. And I know people will be expecting more from the second part. They will not be dissatisfied,” says Rajamouli. “It will be much bigger.” Rajamouli has already shot some 40% of ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ and shooting for the sequel will commence in November. Consequently, the release, which was scheduled for next summer, has been pushed back to the end of 2016.
The first part ended in a cliffhanger that will be resolved in the conclusion. Rajamouli says that the first part was merely an introduction to the story proper that will unfold in the conclusion. He is, however, not relying just on grandeur and visual effects. “We are banking on emotion, the sequel is much more emotional than part one,” says Rajamouli. “The way the characters behave in part two will be entirely different,” he says. “The characters will be seen in a new light. The characters are the same, but the characterisations will be different.”
