Prabhas, who refuses to be called an international star, is far less tensed than he was before the release of 'Baahubali The Beginning'. In this interview, he talks about the April 28 release 'Baahubali The Conclusion' in detail. 

The audience are excited about finding why Kattappa killed Baahubali. What is in store?

If I were to tell you the reason now, you would ask many follow-up questions. It's how layered it is. The reason unfolds in about 20 scenes. The first question VV Vinayak wondered in 2015 was how come the movie became such a big hit although it had about ten unanswered questions. Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali is only one of the questions. Why and how Tamannah's character ended up being in the forest and a lot of questions were not unanswered. Yet the film became a blockbuster. May be, that's what the people liked. They liked the characters, characterizations, etc.

Rajamouli spent at least 15-20 days thinking how the story has to be separated into two parts. It was a tough one. 

Playing which of the two characters was more difficult for you?

It was easier to play Shivudu because, having been brought up in an unregulated environment, he goes by his instinct. He doesn't know who Avanthika is and yet goes after her. He ends up in Mahismathi without knowing that his biological mother is actually in captive there. He lifts the Shiva Lingam when he wants to. On the other hand, Amarendra Baahubali is brought up in a contrasting environment and his responsibilities are bigger. He has to behave in a particular way.

Can you take us through how the film took birth?

Rajamouli did narrate to me a few stories at least 5-6 years before the shoot of 'Baahubali' commenced. He even had an idea about Krishna Devarayulu. But something didn't satisfy him and so, he abandoned those ideas. When he narrated the story of 'Baahubali', it haunted me for 4-5 days. The audience haven't seen that impact so far. They will see it in the second part.

Is it possible for you to do two movies a year from now?

If we do pre-production work meticulously by spending 6-8 months on it, it's possible to complete the shoot in 4 months, whatever may be the genre. Rajamouli planned the edits of even action sequences for the part two. That's why doing the second part was not that physically taxing. From the experience he has gained with this film, he can complete any film in shorter time frame in future.
