Can you believe it, it’s been a year since one of the biggest magnum opuses hit the theatres. The movie was like a storm that had hit cinema and changed the face of it, once and for all! It set the benchmark for quality cinema and incredible box office records. Baahubali 2 had garnered huge buzz prior to the release as everyone wanted to know why Kattappa killed Baahubali. But after the film’s release, there was so much more to the historical drama than the answer to the most asked question – Rajamouli’s sharp direction, the exemplary VFX, the cast’s powerful performance and the compelling story. The movie catapulted the stars to unimaginable heights. They went on to become global icons. Now a year after its release, where are they? What are they up to? Has Baahubali opened new doors for them? Today as Baahubali 2 completes a year, let’s find out what Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia and Anushka Shetty are up to.
