Baahubali managed to win the hearts and appreciation of people all around the globe. The fans fell in love with the lead actor Prabhas who played the role of Amarendra Baahubali and in the sequel he also excelled the role of Mahendra Bahubali. The character of Bhallaladeva, played by none other than Rana Daggubati was another character whom the fans gave their love.

And now we all need to thank Raveena Tandon. Raveena was in Hyderabad, chilling with Baahubali stars Rana and Prabhas. Thanks to her, the two stars shared a frame together along with Tandon and made it a picture perfect.

After seeing the caption and the photograph it looks like Raveena had a mad time with the Baahubali team and on the other hand, it looked like a happy reunion for the stars as well. Have a look at the picture.

We wonder if the trio is coming together for the film or a professional project but the picture definitely will continue to rule the internet for quite some time now.

What was the toughest part in the making of two-part Baahubali? "To keep the energies of the team intact and to get the going smooth, said S S Rajamouli, the director of the movie that breached the 2,000-crore-mark to emerge as the biggest grosser in the Indian film industry.

After a strenuous yet gratifying five-year journey, Rajamouli is taking a break. "I haven't decided on my next project yet. It will be sometime before I work on my next project, he says.

Rajamouli was categorical in saying that there would be no sequel to the film. "We have completed the full story in two parts. It wouldn't be honest film making to make a sequel to it, he said.

Had he expected the tremendous response that the film received? "We expected it to be a hit in the south. But what we didn't expect it to be so huge a hit in the north, he said.

He was interacting with a select group of reporters here recently, ahead of the television premire of Baahubali 2 - The Conclusion on Sony Max on October 8. Incidentally, Baahubali - 1, too, was telecast on the same channel in 2015. Flanked by Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, who played the hero and villain in the film made with a budget of 450 crore, Rajamouli shared his experiences on the making of the movie and his views on film-making.

He asserted that there was nothing that had changed for him after the success of the film. "But what's changed is I lost my privacy in the north, too, he said with a chuckle.

On a question about the failure of big films of late, he said the art of film-making was quite a complicated one. "You will never know which will succeed or not. It [Bollywood] will be back on the purple patch soon, he observed.

Rajamouli said both technique and content areequally important for a movie to become successful.

"It is like a bus with an engine with a shell. Even if you have a good engine, it won't get you anywhere unless you have a good shell. If you have a good shell and no engine, you won't get anywhere. A good story can't guarantee a hit, he pointed out.
