'Baahubali sequel resumes September 15'

Last updated on: July 23, 2015 14:29 IST

Telugu actor Prabhas, the leading man of S S Rajamouli’s Baahubali, is now gearing up to shoot for the second and concluding part of the blockbuster film.

“Everybody wants to know when we are releasing the sequel.

“We go back to shooting the second part of Baahubali on September 15 and complete it in one stretch,” he reveals.

Having worked non-stop on Baahubali: The Beginning for two years, Prabhas says he’s ready for the challenge.

“Both my director Rajamouli and I are more confident now. We were not completely sure about how the audience would react to the first film.

“Now that Baahubali has found acceptance, we are far more confident. Now when we go back on the sets for the sequel, it will be with a lighter heart.”

However, there's still room for apprehensions.

“The second part must be liked by people too. And we have to make sure we do better than the first part. So the challenge before Rajamouli and me is in a way greater and yet less scary because we’ve already been there.

“It's a daunting task, but we are up for it,” he concludes.
