Rana Daggubati says he would’ve ‘killed Baahubali’ as iconic question resurfaces, Prabhas reacts

Rana Daggubati on killing Baahubali

S.S. Rajamouli's Baahubali wasn't just a film; it was a phenomenon that redefined Indian cinema on the global map. With the filmmaker's visionary storytelling, jaw-dropping grandeur, and breathtaking performances from the lead cast - including Prabhas and Rana Daggubati - both parts of Baahubali shattered every cinematic boundary. As the film gears up for a re-release, the makers indulged in a fun banter by questioning, "What if Kattappa didn't kill Baahubali?" Rana Daggubati (Bhallala Deva) and Prabhas had a quirky response to it.

Rana Daggubati's Quirky Reaction on Kattappa Killing Baahubali

When the first part of the film ended, it left audiences across the globe stunned and fixated on the biggest question: Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali? After a long, nail-biting wait, Baahubali: The Conclusion finally answered it, revealing that Sivagami had ordered Kattappa to take the tragic step.

Years later, a tweet from the film's official handle reignited the frenzy by asking, "What if Kattappa didn't kill Baahubali?" To this, Rana Daggubati cheekily replied, "I would have killed him instead." The internet exploded when Prabhas reposted it to his Instagram story and wrote: "I let it happen, Bhalla… for this!" along with the poster of Baahubali: The Conclusion proudly stamped with No.1 Blockbuster of Indian Cinema | ₹1000+ Crores Worldwide.
