Photos: SS Rajamouli Begins Shooting 'Baahubali 2' Climax Sequence

SS Rajamouli and team have already started filming the climax portion of the much-anticipated ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’. The film will be filmed over 10 weeks at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. If reports are anything to go by, the budget for this particular sequence will cost Rs 30 crore which is twice the amount of what was spent on the prequel.

‘Bahubali’, which was released last year, became a global phenomenon in the purest sense of the word courtesy its mesmerizing visual appeal and compelling screenplay.

"After months of pre-planning and rehearsing, the team has started filming the climax portion. An epic war sequence will be shot in this final schedule and the shoot will go on till August. Prabhas (actor) has been training rigorously over the last couple of months for this portion," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

International stunt choreographers have been roped in to shoot this portion.

"Lee Whittaker, known for his action direction in films such as 'Lingaa' and 'Baahubali', is also the action director of 'Baahubali 2', along with Brad Allan and his team, known for their work on Kingsman series," the source said.

Larnell Stovall, who worked on 'The Hunger Games' series and Salman Khan's 'Sultan', is also part of the film. Morne Van Tonder, who had worked in 'The Hobbit' franchise, is key stunt rigger for the climax.

The film also stars Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia and Anushka Shetty.

If everything goes as planned, the film will hit the screens on April 18, 2017.
