A tweet by film critic Taran Adarsh on the release date of 'Bahubali-2 Conclusion' has triggered off a storm on social media.

He tweeted, “Breaking News: #Baahubali2 release date finalized: 14 April 2017[Good Friday]. SS Rajamouli directs. Expect a Hurricane at the BO.”

He added, "Why did Katappa kill Bahubali?  Will get the answers only next year now [14 April 2017] #Baahubali2 #EagerlyAwaited.

Following his tweet even a Prabhas fan account on Twitter announced the release date. However, this account is not verified even though it has 420,000 followers.

Following all the tweets IBN live also picked up the story.

However, are the dates confirmed?

There is no official announcement from the film director SS Rajamouli.

Last time, the announcement of the dates was done in a grand fashion, with an event being organized and Karan Johar announcing it. Even then, in the run up to the announcement of the release dates, several rumours did the rounds. Is this one such rumour?

We have to wait and watch! Let's hope Taran Adarsh is right.
