Sorry, folks.
Baahubali: The Conclusion is not going to have a narrative voiceover by Telugu star Chiranjeevi. Fans of Megastar, as the actor-politician is addressed, can stop getting all excited.
Baahubali director S S Rajamouli dismissed reports of additional stardust in a tweet this morning that read: "Chiranjeevigaru giving voice over for Baahubali 2 is false news." Reactions to his tweet ranged from some general hand-wringing to suggestions for actors to actually be recruited into voice over duties - these included Mahesh Babu and Jr NTR.
Baahubali: The Conclusion is the second part of Rajamouli's epic fantasy starring actors Prabhas and Rana Daggubati. He tweeted this morning:
This is the second celebrity rumour that the makers of
Baahubali have had to dispel on Twitter. Some months ago, reports that
Shah Rukh Khan had been cast in a cameo created a viral moment of proportions almost as epic as the subject of the film itself. Not true, said a tweet from the film's official handle:
The trailer of
Baahubali 2 is expected on March 15.
Baahubali: The Conclusion, easily one of this year's biggest films, is being made in both Telugu and Tamil and will also be dubbed in Hindi. Part one of the film,
Baahubali: The Beginning, was a mega box office smash in 2015 and was compared to the Hollywood film 300.
Baahubali: The Conclusion stars Prabhas as the titular hero and Rana Daggubati as the antagonist Bhallala Deva. Actresses Tamannaah Bhatia and Anushka Shetty reprise their roles from the first film. The continuation is expected to reveal why Katappa killed Baahubali in part one.
Baahubali: The Conclusion is scheduled for April 28.
