Baahubali 2: SS Rajamouli unveils new poster which hints at “Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?” See pic

The first part of the epic series, Baahubali: The Beginning, ended with visuals of Kattappa stabbing Baahubali in the back as seen in the new poster, leaving the audience shocked, given Kattappa was the most loyal to Baahubali.

On Saturday, during a live Facebook chat with his fans, Rajamouli said that he never expected the climax twist of the first part to become such a big hit.

“I wanted to show Kattappa killing Baahubali to give a twist to the tale at the end. I knew it will create some level of shock value among the audience but never expected it become such a rage,” he said.

Rajamouli also added that he does not see the expectations around the movie, which is sky high, as a burden. “I never felt the pressure or burdened by the expectations of the audience. I think it is an advantage,” he said, adding that so much of expectations will only ensure a good viewership for the film.
