Calling it a “masterpiece”, Rajinikanth tweeted: “‘Baahubali 2’ Indian cinema’s pride. My salutes to god’s own child Rajamouli and his team.”
While the first part, “Baahubali: The Beginning“, released in July 2015 and minted over Rs 600 crore at the box office, “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” was supposed to come out in 2016.
