One of the most interesting discussions among cinephiles about the re-release of Baahubali is how the team managed to cut a single film by combining two parts. In a recent promotional interview, the details of the scenes that were trimmed from Baahubali: The Epic have been revealed.
Director SS Rajamouli, Hero Prabhas, and Rana Daggubati took part in a candid interview for the re-release of their magnum opus. During their chat, Rajamouli revealed what actual scenes he has removed or trimmed from Baahubali: The Epic.
