Madhuri not in Bahubali 2: SS Rajamouli
Quashing rumours, director SS Rajamouli says actress won’t be part of sequel
Rumour had it recently that Madhuri Dixit-Nene was all set to star in SS Rajamouli’s Bahubali Returns as Anushka Shetty’s sister.
A source adds, “There are all kinds of rumours and speculations flitting around about the Bahubali sequel. We don’t know where the one involving Madhuri came from because there is no truth to it. Websites have even created the role of Anushka Shetty’s sister for Madhuri in Bahubali 2. But so far, there is no new addition to the cast at all.”
Madhuri, who made a buzzworthy comeback with two releases Dedh Ishqiya and Gulab Gang hasn’t signed anything since. However, both films tanked, leaving her with no new offers. An announcement, confirming her presence in one of the highest grossing Indian films ever, would have been a welcome respite for the actress.
However, that isn’t to be. ​W​hen contacted, Rajamouli simply sai​d​, “There is no Madhuri Dixit in Bahubali 2.”
