&lt;p id=&quot;p_1&quot;&gt;For a good part of 2015, scores of Indian film buffs were busy cracking an epic mystery. When they weren't asking for a refund for watching Shah Rukh Khan's &lt;em&gt;Dilwale&lt;/em&gt; in the theatre, loyal Bollywood fans were losing sleep over why Kattappa killed Baahubali in &lt;em&gt;Baahubali-The Beginning&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_2&quot;&gt;Why would a royal slave kill the King? Kind of obvious, one would think, but the director of the epic, and now National Award-winning film, thinks otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_3&quot;&gt;If you are any wiser by the end of the video, you might just be Baahubali.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_4&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/1_Srf5fN0Oc&quot; width=&quot;690&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_5&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
