Bahubali 2 not affected by producers' IT raid, says Bahubali writer

A lot is being talked about the Income Tax department raids on Baahubali producers homes. Media speculates that some tens of crores of rupees were seized by the IT department. Some were claiming that the raids have put Baahubali 2 filming in a spot of bother. Writer Vijayendra Prasad rubbished all such claims and said that the income tax raid on the film’s producers Shobhu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni will not hamper the shooting and release of the film. Baahubali 2 is gearing up for April 28, 2017 release and there is no change in plan as of now.

 The veteran writer added “All the expenditure is by cheque and accounted for. No cash payments were made at any point during the shooting. So there is no point of seizing unaccounted money.” Prasad said that the total filming of Baahubali: The Conclusion will be complete by December and post production follows.
