S
S
Rajamouli
is
happy
that
'Why
Kattappa
Killed
Baahubali?'
has
become
something
of
a
pop
culture
quiz
as
he
believes
it
shows
that
Baahubali
has
broken
the
language
barrier
successfully.
Rajamouli
says
he
and
the
makers
encounters
this
question
every
day
and
it
never
tires
them
as
it
indicates
the
anticipation
for
the
second
part
of
the
story,
which
ended
on
a
cliffhanger.
"We
love
it
when
anyone
asks
this
question.
I
can't
count
the
number
of
times
we
get
asked
this.
It
is
exciting
not
just
for
me
but
for
the
entire
team.
We
feel
elated
that
we
could
break
the
barrier
of
region
and
language",
said
the
director
in
a
recent
interview.
The
visionary
director
says
he
always
believed
that
it
was
possible
to
move
beyond
region
and
the
movie
proved
him
right.
"We
believed
we
could
transcend
this
barrier
if
we
based
our
stories
on
basic
human
emotions
without
it
being
pulled
down
by
regionalities."
"I
always
believed
that
if
you
have
a
story
like
that,
it
will
reach
beyond.
But
that
was
a
theory,
no
one
had
done
it
before.
So,
I
can't
explain
how
confident
it
makes
me
feel
as
a
filmmaker."
The
42-year-old
director
says
emulating
a
similar
success
internationally
is
not
difficult
provided
the
filmmakers
have
a
story
that
resonates
with
audiences
everywhere.
"Internationally,
it's
the
same
thing.
Once
you
base
your
film
on
basic
human
emotions,
it
will
do
well.
We
should
also
look
at
how
wide
a
release
we
are
getting
in
the
market
and
how
to
get
people
interested
to
come
to
theatres.
We
knew
once
they
will
come,
they
are
going
to
like
the
film."
After
a
great
run
at
the
Indian
box
office,
the
royal
revenge
saga
is
releasing
in
China.
"Our
next
release
is
going
to
be
China.
We
are
releasing
the
film
in
6500
screens,
which
is
much
bigger
than
India.
It
will
happen
this
month
or
next
month." The
sequel,
Baahubali:
The
Conclusion,
is
currently
being
shot
with
a
release
date
in
April
2017.
Rajamouli
says
the
delay
of
a
year-and-a-half
was
not
intentional.
"When
we
started
the
film,
we
wanted
to
reveal
both
the
parts
within
a
gap
of
three
to
four
months.
But
the
way
we
were
putting
in
money
our
finances
were
over.
We
finished
the
first
part
and
decided
to
release
second
part
one
year
later."
"Somehow
we
knew,
the
second
part
will
work
even
after
one
year.
Many
films
like
The
Lord
of
the
Rings.
The
Hobbit
and
Batman
come
after
one
year
but
people
were
hooked
after
the
success
of
the
first
part."
There
is
a
huge
build
up
around
the
sequel
considering
the
success
of
the
first
part
but
Rajamouli
is
confident
that
the
second
part
will
work
well.
"I
am
not
under
any
pressure.
The
expectations
of
people
is
actually
a
pressure
reliever."
