S. S. Rajamouli Confirms Tamannaah'S Song 'Pacha Bottesina' Removal From 'Baahubali'

Filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli confirms that the popular song 'Pacha Bottesina' — featuring Tamannaah Bhatia — has been removed from 'Baahubali: The Epic'. Along with the song's removal, other songs such as Kanna Nidurinchara and Irrukupo were also trimmed, and major war-sequences shortened. The new version runs 3 hours 43 minutes, down from an earlier 5 hour 27 minute cut. The edits aim to keep the combined narrative of both parts lean and 'purely story-driven'.
