First book in ‘Baahubali’ series unveiled amidst fanfare

Author Anand Neelakantan unveiled on Friday his much-awaited book “The Rise of Sivagami”, a prequel to the blockbuster “Baahubali”, along with the film’s director S.S.Rajamouli, its actors Ramya Krishnan and Rana Daggubati while hundreds of fans of the film lined up outside the venue here.

From students to officegoers, the crowd eagerly waited to catch a glimpse of the “Baahubali” stars in front of INOX, Nehru Place here. Some even tried to get the answer to why the royal slave Kattappa killed Baahubali.

If the crowd gathered outside the venue was enthusiastic about the next part of the film, the audience inside was equally curious to know about the series of events in “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”.
