Third part of 'Baahubali' to not include Prabhas?

The third part of SS Rajamouli's epic fantasy drama Baahubali may not have several members of its main cast including lead actor Prabhas.

Rajamouli's father Vijayendra Prasad who has written both Baahubali Part 1 and 2 and will pen the sequel, told Cinemavikatan, a Tamil magazine, that the film after Baahubali 2 will diverge from the first two films and have a very different storyline. He also said that the film will not star Prabhas and will also not have key characters like Katappa.

Telugu star Prabhas is reprising his role from the original in the sequel Baahubali: The Conclusion. Shoot for the film began in October and will continue through 2016. The film is a Shobu Yarlagadda production and is likely to release in December 2016 or January 2017. 

Baahubali: The Beginning released in July and created history at the box office, with over Rs 600 crore grossed worldwide.
