The film’s VFX supervisor Srinivas Mohan worked on the Vfx of the film in association with around 16 VFX studios. It took two and a half years. At the same time, about 20 thousand weapons were designed for the entire film, which were used throughout the film.
Tell me, the writer of the film used a new language in the film – Kilki.. which has only 750 words and 40 grammar rules. This language is spoken in the film by the people of the Kalkeyi clan.
It was the first Telugu film to be made on a budget above 100 crores. The first film was of 180 crores.. whereas the sequel was of around 250 crores. Including both the films, the Bahubali franchise is a 430 crore film. It is the costliest franchise in India.
