After delivering a universal blockbuster Baahubali, many thought the film's sequel would hit the screens at least within a year of its release (July 10, 2015). Pouring cool water on all hopes, makers announced that they're planning to release Baahubali: The Conclusion on April 14, 2017. While this is not welcome for many fans of Prabahs and movie lovers, it's heard that there're several reasons that caused delay.
Out of several reasons, Anushka's weight is also one of the reasons for the delay in the film's release. Anushka, who gained over 20 kilos of weight, made it clear that she won't shed weight in artificial ways but keen on reducing weight through natural means. Losing 20 kilos naturally isn't so easy considering that it takes a toll on her body, daily routine and change of diet. Besides many other reasons like first-rate Vfx, top notch CG for war sequences, Anushka's weight would also be one of the reasons.
Initially, Baahubali 2 was slated for Summer 2016. But makers decided to postpone it by a year, which is substantial delay even going by regular delays in the film industry. Well, let's hope the film would at least make it on time - April 14, 2017.
