Panaji: After S.S. Rajamouli, director of blockbuster film "Baahubali: The Beginning", Union minister of state for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore may well be the second person to know why Katappa killed Baahubali -- an immensely popular internet meme and a popular mystery which has generated a series of jokes on social media.
Speaking during the closing ceremony of the 47th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here on Monday, Rathore said that Rajamouli, who was a special guest for the ceremony, had shared with him the secret of why Katappa killed Baahubali during a conversation earlier in the day.
"Thank you so much for making this brilliant film for us. And thank you for telling me why did Katappa kill Baahubali," Rathore said.
"It shouldn't be a surprise. He told me why Katappa killed Baahubali, because this government knows everything and he also knows this government keeps the best secrets. So, it's safe," Rathore said.
The second part of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus "Baahubali" will hit theatres on April 28, 2017. Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, who distributed the Hindi version of the first part, announced that his Dharma Productions will also distribute "Baahubali - The Conclusion" along with AA films.
"Dharma Productions and AA films are honored and proud to associate once again with the genius @ssrajamouli's vision," Johar posted on Twitter. "@BaahubaliMovie The Conclusion releases on the 28th of April 2017 @arkamediaworks @Shobu_ #Prasad @dharmamovies," he added.
"Baahubali - The Conclusion" stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah and Anushka Shetty. The film will finally answer the much-discussed question - 'Why Katappa (played by Sathyaraj) killed Baahubali (Prabhas)'.
