One question that has been in everyone’s mind after watching Baahubali: The Beginning is “Kattappa ne Baahubali ko kyun maara?”
Everywhere we saw on the internet people were asking just this one question. Now it’s been more than one year since the movie released in July 2015 and that one question still bothers people. There have been many fan theories as to why Kattappa killed Baahubali, and here’s one such fan theory which is very interesting and might also be accurate. Mahadevan B. Iyer, a final year Integrated M.Tech in Biotechnology student from Apeejay Stya University, Gurgaon has a very intriguing theory.
Before going on to the theory here are a few points he wants you to remember:
- Kattappa's race of people has sworn loyalty to the THRONE of Mahishmati and will do anything asked by the supreme chief of throne.
2. The queen mother Sivagami, while approaching her end, says that though she has done many black deeds still requests the god to save the child as he will bring back fortune to the kingdom.
3. Bhalaladeva hates Devasena for choosing Bahubali over him and also mentions that had she chosen him she wouldn't have had this kind of a life.
4. It has been established that Amrendra had never seen his son Mahendra.
5. Over half the Kalkeya army and their warlords escaped with the general after the Kalkeya king died.
6. Devasena is not at all part of the Mahishmati women folk as per the 1st movie.
7. Followers of Bahubali and Devasena are enslaved (the ones working on the golden statue)
8. Some of them would have escaped, the tribals trying to save Devasena.
