The monstrous(enormous) project that the most successful director of TFI, S.S.Rajamouli, has taken up, 'Baahubali', is being reported to be released in two parts, given the sheer size of the project. This is a similar strategy that Kamal Haasan has adopted with Vishwaroopam. With this strategy, the director(S.S.Rajamouli) can show and convey the message that he wants to and entertain the audience with the movie as he intended, without worrying about too much edition to fit the movie in to a typical or normal movie length, in which the message & entertainment could be lost. This strategy also gives more chances to recoup as much as the investment as possible, thus saving the lifes of the producers. 

The news also suggest that the entire movie will be shot in one stretch but will be released in two parts with few days or weeks of gap. This may be the reason(shooting the entire movie in one stretch) for S.S.Rajamouli to run long shoots, sometimes spanning more than 24hours non-stop. And the pace at which Rajamouli is completing the scenes is much faster than what he typically does. In a recent tweet, Rajamouli himself has said that ” For the first time in my career I completed a scene much earlier then scheduled. Planed for 5 days, finished in 3 days :) “.

The movie is reported to be the costliest Telugu movie ever made with the budget of more than Rs.75cr and features a star cast with most of Tollywood prominent personnel playing some key roles in it along with Prabhas, Anushka & Rana in the lead roles. Arka Media Works is making this movie. The movie is also being planned to be released in various international makets along with many Indian languages.
