Putting an end to all speculation about a 'third part' of the epic-drama film Bahubali, director S S Rajamouli took to social media to clarify his stand.
"Many rumours on Bahubali. The story will conclude with part-2. No dragging.. But the world of Baahubali will continue in a way that's been never experienced before ever. Will reveal the details when appropriate. Don't believe the rumours. Only I know what's going to come.(sic)" he wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday.
However, the statement seemingly triggered off more confusion as the director took to Facebook again on Sunday and said:
Looks like I created more confusion instead of giving clarity... Apologies..
Bahubali-3 is on cards... But the story that's written for the two parts will not be dragged for the sake of it. This story will conclude with the second part itself. Baahubali-3 will be done in a way that audience have never experienced films before. Hope that clarifies...
"He's planning to work on a prequel to 'Bahubali'. It could be a spin-off on the franchise itself," a source close to the filmmaker told IANS.
