What made Rajamouli to postpone Baahubali 2?

Just a few days ago, it was announced 'Baahubali: The Conclusion' will hit screens on 28th April, 2017.

If one remembers correctly, film's director SS Rajamouli had announced very long back that the epic film will have its worldwide release on April 14, 2017. All of a sudden, now the film is postponed for two weeks, without giving any explanation.

It doesn't take a genius mind to figure out that Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, who will release 'Baahubali 2's Hindi version is the person who decided the film's release date. It was speculated at the time of Baahubali release last year that July 10 date was finalized by him only. So, why did he postpone the release of Baahubali 2 now?

Karan Johar has just now announced that Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer 'Jagga Jasoos', which has been under making for over 2 years, will release on April 7, 2017. As Ranbir has delivered 4 disasters in succession, he needs a good release date. If the most awaited film of 2017 - Baahubali comes out on April 14, just a week after 'Jagga Jasoos', the latter will perish for sure.

So, Karan Johar turned a messiah for Ranbir Kapoor and forced Rajamouli to push Baahubali 2 back.
